Is God real?

Do you believe God is real? Let's establish that God is real. How do we do that?

We look at the evidence.

What evidence is there for the reality of God? If we look at the universe and nature, and if we look at it with an open mind, we will come to the conclusion that it is not an accident. I know a lot of people do not believe in creation. Let's just look how everything works and fits together and then try to imagine that all happened by accident. I think if we are honest with ourselves we will not be able to believe that.

If we look at the Bible, here is what it says: Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

So if we go by what the Bible says, there is no way that we will not know that there is a God. We know this by what he created.


So you say: That's just the Bible, how do I know it is true? We believe the Bible is the word of God and the writers as indicated in the Bible wrote under the inspiration of God. How did we come to that conclusion? Here are just a few reasons. The Bible was written over a spread of several thousand years. It was written by over forty different writers from all walks of live. None of them new they where writing anything for any such book and still all the books in the Bible fit together perfectly. There are a lot of prophecies in the Bible that have been fulfilled just between the Old and New Testament. The Bible is historically accurate. A lot of the New Testament was written by eye witnesses with much of it even backed up by non-christian writings. There are approximately 20,000 manuscripts that back up the New Testament of the Bible. The famous "Dead Sea Scrolls" support the Old Testament. These are just some of the reasons to believe the Bible.

Hopefully this helps you establish that there is a God. If it did we can move forward with what we talked about in the last post. If this didn't help you, feel free to ask more questions. We'll get into why we need a savior next time.
