About God
“It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.”
Blaise Pascal.
Ben Zion Bokser wrote,
“I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God. But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.”
Ben Zion Bokser
The Psalmist wrote,
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
Psalm 14:1.
I am a Christian it goes without saying I believe in God. Not only that but I’m in the majority in the world. The majority of people in the world believe in God and a life beyond the grave.
All I have to do is look around me to see the hand of God.
The psalmist wrote,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
Psalm 19:1.
I believe that. As I see the perfection of the natural world I can’t believe it all just came to be by chance. The perfection of it all tells me behind it all is the creators hand.
If life simply evolved as evolutionist say, with the survival of the fittest then man would have become extinct long ago. Simply because a universal moral code would not exist.
In order for man to survive as a species it is essential that all men subscribe to a universal moral code, especially do not kill.
Man even in our so called enlightened age, has a horrible track record when it comes to not killing our fellow man. Not counting wars in the United States alone so far this year over eleven thousand people have died due to gun violence alone. And this with laws that say you should not kill.
That aside, I believe man has written on his heart the fact that he should not kill. This I believe was implanted in mans heart by God.
Abba Hillel Silver wrote,
“Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”
Abba Hillel Silver.
It is only when man recognizes there ultimately is a God that he will one day be held accountable to that society flourishes.
It’s when men loose their fear of God or twist His words for their own evil devices that things go wrong.
The proof is in world war two when the Nazi’s came to power men who did not fear God causing the deaths of over eleven million people, six million of them Jews alone in death camps. In a war that caused close to sixty million military and civilian casualties.
It’s happening today as terrorist kill and destroy anything they disagree with.
It happens on the streets of our towns and cities where everything from white collar crime to robberies to violent crime take place. Done by men and women who don’t give God a second thought. Who do not believe they will ultimately be called to judgement if not by earthly judges, most certainly by God.
The writer of Ecclesiastes wrote,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
I believe in God it’s that simple. I believe we all one day will be judged by him.
I also believe in God because without His existence life would have no meaning.
Please think about it.
