THERE IS A GOD

The Bible does not present any argument for the existence of God; it takes the FACT of God for granted. God is the infinite and perfect Spirit in whom all things have their source, support and end.

The word of God reveals God to us. Because God is infinitely beyond our human comprehension, the Bible often “couches’ God in human language.

The number of reasons is given in the Bible to show how we can know there is a God.

A.    The Fact Of Universal Belief Proves There Is A God.

Man has a “religious nature” which is unique to man. All men in all ages and in all civilizations have manifested a belief in some higher Being. Most times this belief is perverted- but it demonstrates that there is some higher being .

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

This teaches that even those who have never heard of the Lord have His law written in their hearts

B.     The Fact That Everything Must Have A Cause Proves There Is A God

Man is an intelligent being; therefore his Cause must also be intelligent. Man has personality; thus his Cause could not be impersonal.

C.     The Fact Of Intricate Design In The Universe Proves There Is A God

A watch not only requires a watchmaker, must also a designer and a purpose.

 Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

How does the human body prove there is a God?

D.    The Whole Of Creation Proves There Is A God

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

E.     The Events Of History Proves There Is A God

Many times God has intervened in human history, and His Hand is often seen in the rise and fall of nations

 Psalm 75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

 7.  But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another

F.     The Bible Says There Is A God

If there is a God , it is most reasonable to expect Him to reveal Himself to man. This He has done- first through creation, but in detail through His Word.

 Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The Bible begins with God – not philosophical arguments for His existence.
