If you want to use the Bible as proof of His existence, then there is a whole lot of evidence. The Jews, even to this day will tell you that He existed and that He was crucified. Since none of us who are alive today were there to actually witness Jesus when He was here in person, we simply have to go by faith. In fact, the word faith (PEITHO) literally means persuasion. A person believes that Jesus is real because they are fully persuaded (Faith) in their mind that He did, (and does) exist. Having faith (PEITHO/Persuasion) requires no evidence or proof of existence. A believer does not need evidence or proof. A believer lives by faith.
It would be the same as asking if George Washington ever existed. None of us were there at that time either, so how do we know?
best regards,
