The Existence of God

1. We are constantly challenged by atheists, skeptics and hecklers to prove that


there is a God.
It is difficult for natural man to believe in something that he cannot see, touch or
feel (I Cor. 2:14).
The problem for the Christian is solved with the first verse of the Bible, “In the
beginning God
created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1).

a. The Bible is not a textbook that attempts to prove the existence of God - the
Bible opens
with a positive fact that God does exist. It did not occur to any other writer of the
Bible to prove this fact.
The Bible plainly states that it is the fool who denies the existence of God. Ps.
14:1.
b. Anyone with any intelligence would acknowledge the evident fact of a living
God.

PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD


1. PROOF FROM SCRIPTURE {Psalms 19:1, Rom 1: 20, Heb 11: 6). The
man who accepts Scripture will readily
acknowledge the existence of God.
2. A saved Person (Salvation Experience) - the greatest proof apart from
Scripture of the existence of God is our daily fellowship with Him in prayer. I
know that there is a God because I talked to Him today and He heard and
answered the prayer of my heart though it was only whispered silently.

3. PROOF FROM CONSCIENCE


Humans are born with a universal belief in a supreme Being; no tribe has yet been
discovered that lacks this. They know that some Being creates and controls (Rom.
2:15). Men deny the existence of God not because they cannot find Him but
because they are afraid to face the responsibility of being accountable to Him after
death.
Atheism is one of the devil’s tools to put men to sleep without accepting salvation.
If there is no God then I am not responsible to anyone and I can live and die as I
please.
To look up and see a plane and not see the pilot and say that the plane is pilotless is
as ridiculous as looking into the heavens and saying that there is no God simply
because we cannot see Him. Few of us have ever seen our brains, yet we believe
that we possess them because of a centralized control system in the body. Because
we see creation, we believe in God.

4. THE ARGUMENT FROM CAUSE (Cosmological)


The world is here. It must have come from somewhere. Somebody or something
must have caused it to come into being at one time or another. Someone built the
building. Someone created the trees. Someone operates the universe.

5. THE MORAL ARGUMENT (Anthropological)


Man has an intellectual and moral nature showing that the Creator must not be
merely an inanimate force but a living, intelligent, moral Being. Gen. 1:26, “Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness.”
Conscience teaches man right and wrong, good and bad; for the Creator is a moral
Being that is holy, and loves righteousness but abhors evil.

6. THE ARGUMENT FROM DESIGN (Teleological)


A watch not only exists but it has a designer. It was planned for a specific purpose.
A watch was not designed for mosquitoes to live in. It was designed by a keen
mind for the purpose of accurately telling the time.
An examination of the world and the things large and small shows that each is
designed by an intelligent mind for a specific purpose in life.

Atheism which is only giant doubt and unbelief, can only lead to darkness and
despair for the one accepting it. Acceptance of Gen. 1:1, “In the beginning God,”
leads a sincere seeker into the path of a fuller revelation of God Himself.
Heb. 11:6, “He that cometh to God must believe that He Is (exists).”
