 "Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?" 

The existence of God cannot be proved or disproved.



The Bible says that we must accept by faith


the fact that God exists: "And without faith it is impossible to please God,

because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists

and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

If God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world

that He exists. But if He did that, there would be no need for faith.

"Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed;

blessed are those who have not seen and yet

have believed’" (John 20:29).


People claim to reject God’s existence because it is "not scientific"

or "because there is no proof." The true reason is that once they

 admit that there is a God, they also must realize that

they are responsible to God and in need of  forgiveness

from Him (Romans 3:23, 6:23). If God exists, then we are

accountable to Him for our actions. If God does not exist, then we can do

whatever we want without having to worry about God judging us.

That is why many of those who deny the existence of God cling

strongly to the theory of naturalistic evolution—it gives them an

alternative to believing in a Creator God. God exists and

ultimately everyone knows that He exists. The very fact

that some attempt so aggressively to disprove His existence

is in fact an argument for His existence. 


As Christians, we know God exists because, if we pray daily,

their is an open line of communication with Him. Only a few have

the gift of hearing God's voice, but others can sense His presence,

we feel His leading, we know His love, we desire His grace.

Things have occurred in our lives that have no

possible explanation other than God. God has so miraculously saved

us and changed our lives that we cannot help but acknowledge and

praise His existence. None of these arguments can persuade anyone

who refuses to acknowledge what is already obvious. In the end,

God’s existence must be accepted by faith (Hebrews 11:6).

Faith in God is not a blind leap into the dark; it is safe step into a

well-lit room where the vast majority of people are already standing.
