Christian evidences is the study of evidences for Christianity; these evidences substantiate the existence of God; the inspiration of the Bible; and the deity of Christ. The importance of evidence cannot be understated.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Bible “faith” has “substance” (solid foundation, not baseless) that provides the confidence necessary to accept what cannot be seen: “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). That “substance” provides the “evidence” (conviction, demonstration) for what must be believed. Bible statements may point to God’s Creation as demonstrations that God exists, as, for example Hebrews 3:4: “For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.” Since “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), the Bible provides all the facts, examples, or arguments necessary for us to have total confidence in the faith. “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).
Here is a selection of my articles, sermons, and tracts that address this essential Christian faith topic:
I have dealt with many Christian Evidence questions in QA fashion:

“The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God” (Psalm 14:2).
“Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches” (Proverbs 24:3-4).
Every house shows the intelligent design by which it is built, kept up, and adorned. Common sense demands that we see intelligence in every building around us.
“For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4).
It is the “the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them” (Acts 14:15) Who intelligently designed it. It takes someone with uncommon ignorance to say “there is no intelligent design in the Created World.” - 9/12/2019, Words of Wisdom Articles
“The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God” (Psalm 14:2).
There are many, it seems, who either do not, or cannot, see the intelligent design throughout the Inspired Word of God.
"But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled” (Acts 3:18).
Even unbelievers carried out God’s will, "For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him” (Acts 13:27). If “wise men” “have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have?” (Jeremiah 8:9).

“The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God” (Psalm 14:2).
The Christian attitude is: “Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men” (Romans 12:16-17).
1) Treat all men alike. Being a Christian is not so much to elevate ourselves as it is to help others see that they also matter to God! Among Christians, there should be no such thing as “Black Lives Matter,” “White Supremacy,” “bullying,” or “belittling.”
2) Payback with kindness. Jesus gave His life so the hateful can see how it should be done!
