God Exists

God Exists
The writer of Genesis states,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                                            Genesis 1:1.
The Bible dose not debate the existence of God. It simply says “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and leaves it there.
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.
C. S. Lewis said,
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain.
God exists whether you wish to acknowledge Him or not.
 Just take a look around the universe from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particles work in perfect harmony to create life as we know it. I for one cannot believe that this is came about by chance. I believe behind it all is a creator.
Whether God created it in six days or did it over billions of years makes no difference to my faith. I believe God exists.
Even when we look at things from a societal point of view. Everyone in the world knows instinctively what is right an wrong.
I cannot believe that sometime in the ancient past, say, stone age man, convened a global conference to make a universal moral code. Without which society as a whole would sink into anarchy or worse, extinction.
To my mind there must be a creator behind it all. A creator who placed in the very fabric or our makeup what is right and wrong.
For me there is far more evidence for the existence of God than there is for there not being a God.
I fully believe if all we have is this life, then life does lack meaning. What good is living for a handful of days then passing on to oblivion?
I believe there is a God who truly loves us. Who wants to have fellowship with us. Who  wants us to turn to him. Not by force but by faith.
The writer of Hebrews telling us.
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope 
for and certain of what we do not see.” 
                                                                                         Hebrews 11:1
“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.
God in his wisdom has placed the whole universe and everything in it to point us to himself.  The Psalmist stating,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 
                                                                                 Psalm 19:1.
All we as individuals have to do is look. And if that isn’t enough then we can read at the very least the New Testament where in is found the words of Jesus who said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
Please take some time and think about it.
