Thomas doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he could physically see and touch Jesus' wounds himself. The document then discusses common reasons people give for not believing, such as requiring signs or being impressed by speeches, and argues that Scripture alone is sufficient and faith does not depend on convenience or personal desires. It concludes by noting that rejecting God's word amounts to rejecting God himself.

1. John 20:24-25 - 24Now Thomas, called the Twin,
one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus
came. 25The other disciples therefore said to him,
“We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them,
“Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and
put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my
hand into His side, I will not believe.”
