Evidence of Existence

Some will try to claim there is no evidence that God exists. But take a look at Romans 1:20: “From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.” (N LT) The marks of the Intelligent Designer, His order and design in the universe and His “fingerprints” all over humanity point to a Great Creator. Albert Einstein said: “My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illuminant superior Spirit who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms by idea of God.”


The Bible tells us that two of the amazing attributes of God is that He is totally loving, and at the same, time totally just. While it is God’s desire that all acknowledge Him, receive Him as Lord, and accept His free gift of forgiveness, He still gives people the free will to choose. “…He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone to repent.”(NLT) II Peter 3:9b


God has continually, throughout history, reached out to communicate with people. He uses nature, He uses circumstances, and He uses believers in the world. Jesus commissions us with the responsibility to compassionately go search out to the lost and tell the good news of not only a God who exists, but a God who loved the world so much, that He gave His only Son (John 3:16). God extended the ultimate plan of love in sending His Son, Jesus Christ to live among us, suffer, die, and come back to life, so that we might have the opportunity to connect with the living God. Even with that amount of sacrifice, God gives each person the free will to choose. And we all know, every choice has it’s consequence. The consequence of acceptance or rejection of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, extend into eternity.
