Does God Really Exist?

There is a story of 14 year old son who goes to his dad and ask..."Dad, I need to ask you a question and I need for you to please be real honest with me. Remember when you talked so much about Santa when I was younger and then later revealed that there was no such person as Santa Claus. And remember how you and Mom played up the tooth fairy; how you always made such a big deal about the shiny new quarters she would leave behind….then later, you told me that the tooth fairy didn’t exist. So Dad, shoot straight with me and tell me, does God really exist? I really need to know the truth!"

The truth to this question has hounded men since the beginning of time and still seems to perplex, confuse and frustrate many today. Maybe you have struggled with this question and still have never been completely and totally satisfied with the answers given…does God REALLY exist?

Some people would have you believe that you must be small-minded, dim-witted or a lazy and childish thinker to believe there is someone out there that is “pulling the strings and making the world go round.” They would try to convince you that believing in God is like believing in Santa or the Tooth Fairy…okay for children and make-believe fantasy. But, mature-minded thinkers must put away childish thinking and face this cold, sullen world on its terms…Without hope for the future, help in the present or forgiveness for the past.

Others would have you view God and his existence as a crutch to lean on because you are too weak to make it on your own. If only you would elevate your belief system to see that God is within each of us and we have within ourselves the ability to change this world for the better by our actions and our thoughts….for each of us are God and need not answer to anyone else for our actions or their consequences.

But what does the Bible say about the condition of this world and the fate of man…where is there clarity in answering this powerful question?

In Romans, Paul writes in chapter one, “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 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 people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Romans 1:18-21

God has revealed himself to mankind….and all you have to do is look around at the world and all He has made….each morning comes with a sunrise; the tide goes in and the tide goes out; in nine months, an egg and a sperm unite to form a perfect little baby….and the list of a million upon million things that He has created give proof-positive that God is; therefore, GOD EXIST!!!!!!

It is the small-minded, sinful nature of man that seeks to declare that God does not exist…and God is okay with that….not in the sense that He wants mankind to perish for their evil and sinful ways; but rather that He has provided a way for us to know him personally …through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The choice, however, is totally up to you!

If you’re not sure today that God exist, then I challenge you to OPEN YOUR EYES and look around at this incredible world…with all its faults and failures, it is still a magnificent place …and then, I challenge you to meet the Creator by getting down on your knees and asking Jesus to come into your heart….

Challenge God to make himself REAL to you TODAY…. He is just waiting to meet that challenge and to prove that He is, was and always will be …GOD OF THE UNIVERSE....NOW, LORD OF YOUR HEART!!!!!

Blessed By Believing….Walking in Wonder,
