It is in man's interest to believe, not God's. If we are commanded to believe in him, it is because faith cultivates an attitude of interiorisation and detachment, which unshackles the mind from the chains of worldly illusion. With this attitude of interiorisation and detachment, man can discover the saving truth within himself. In Judaism, the truth is exteriorised as Divine Law. Jesus interiorised the Law, and gave it to humanity: love thy neibour as thyself, and love God with all thy being. Christianity is the path to inner enlightenment, which has proven its efficacy by two thousand years of religious practice.
