Does God Exist? Yes or No? 

Here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists.

When it comes to the possibility of God’s existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, “You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you.” Before you look at the facts surrounding God’s existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him? Here then, are some reasons to consider…

1. The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.

2. The universe had a start – what caused it?

3. The universe operates by uniform laws of nature. Why does it?

4. The DNA code informs, programs a cell’s behavior.

5. We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.

6. Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God revealing himself to us.

What proof did Jesus give for claiming to be divine?

He did what people can’t do. Jesus performed miracles. He healed people…blind, crippled, deaf, even raised a couple of people from the dead. He had power over objects…created food out of thin air, enough to feed crowds of several thousand people. He performed miracles over nature…walked on top of a lake, commanding a raging storm to stop for some friends. People everywhere followed Jesus, because he constantly met their needs, doing the miraculous. He said if you do not want to believe what I’m telling you, you should at least believe in me based on the miracles you’re seeing.

If you want to begin a relationship with God now, you can.

This is your decision, no coercion here. But if you want to be forgiven by God and come into a relationship with him, you can do so right now by asking him to forgive you and come into your life. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door [of your heart] and knock. He who hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him [or her].”19 If you want to do this, but aren’t sure how to put it into words, this may help: “Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins. You know my life and that I need to be forgiven. I ask you to forgive me right now and come into my life. I want to know you in a real way. Come into my life now. Thank you that you wanted a relationship with me. Amen.”

God views your relationship with him as permanent. Referring to all those who believe in him, Jesus Christ said of us, “I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.”20

So, does God exist?

Looking at all these facts, one can conclude that a loving God does exist and can be known in an intimate, personal way.

God doesn’t want you to suffer the destruction from the sin of broken laws. Face it; law breaking is destructive, devastating, and self-defeating. Sure, sin has its pleasures. To say that sin is not inviting or enticing would be to lie. It woos us, it invites us, it sells us, it waters our appetite, but when we yield we suffer the consequences.

“The wage of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). “But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys his own soul. Wounds and constant disgrace are his lot, for the woman’s husband will be furious in his jealousy, and he will have no mercy on you in the day of vengeance” (Prov. 6:32-34). The Old Testament vividly depicts the suffering and heartbreak which King David brought into his life by breaking God’s love-laws.

Because God loves us He has set up boundaries for our well-being.

I was sitting at one of those never turn green traffic signals waiting for the light to turn left. As I waited and waited, the fuse on my patience had about burned down to blast off. I thought to myself, “Here I sit. All this time lost, and nothing is coming from the other direction. Why can’t I just go ahead and turn anyway? Why do we have to have these stupid traffic lights? All they do is stop us and delay our forward motion.”

Then the thought came to me, “I wonder what it would be like without traffic lights and stop signs? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just do away with all the traffic signs? Would it? You think we have murder on the highway now. What would it be like with everyone going through intersections at their own will and at high rates of speed? You wouldn’t be able even to drive down the road without getting killed for sure. You see, as much as we don’t like waiting at the traffic lights, all the delays and all the stops are for our own protection and well-being. Without them it would be murder. I said, “thank you Jesus, for this traffic signal that saves me from bodily injury and death itself.”

This is exactly why God gave us commandments. They are our traffic signals in life to protect us.

Look all around you at the crack ups, the breakdowns, all the hurting and deep emotional wounding; all the result of breaking the laws that God has laid down for our well-being. It is simple, obey the rules God has given us out of His love for us and have good emotional mental health. Or break them and bring great injury to yourself and others. “Love gave all the commandments and love fulfills all the commandments.”
