How Can I Be Sure That God Exists?



Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.  (Romans 1:20 NLT)


With all the evil, terrorist attacks, bad news, wars and rumors of wars.. many unfortunately may be asking this question. Let's talk about how you can be sure that God exists.


Many agnostics feel that there's no way to be sure God exists. They argue that one can think God exists and even be convinced that God exists, but at best skeptics argue that belief in God is a blind, illogical leap into the dark. But Christianity, as Paul explained to the Roman governor Festus, is a very reasonable faith. When Festus exclaimed, "You are out of your mind!" Paul replied, "I am not insane...What I am saying is true and reasonable" (Acts 26:25 NIV).

It is reasonable because there is evidence. God created humankind and "never left them without evidence of Himself" (Acts 14:17 NLT). What is the evidence? The amazing, complex world all around us and the universe above us. As Paul explained, the seasonal water cycles, the fertility of the earth, and the mystery of life itself are not only proof of God's existence, but also of His loving care. Modern biological sciences--particularly when one descends to the level of microbiology--confirm how breath-taking life is. The fingerprints of God are all over the plethora of earth's life forms. Their unique, complex and interdependent designs are evidence that an intelligent designer made them.

David also tells us, "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship" (Psalm 19:1 NLT) We now know the heavens to be far more awesome and astonishing than the ancients could have possibly imagined. Not only are the stars awe-inspiring and beautiful, but the universe--filled with galaxies, nebulae, red dwarfs, planets, moons, and black holes, not to mention the constant array of new discoveries astounds us. More amazing still are the unseen laws of physics that govern everything, hold the visible universe together, and make it all work. It is an unparalleled
masterpiece, and behind it is the Master Craftsmen.

Discussion Questions:

1) Do you believe that Christianity is a "reasonable" faith?

2) What to you is the greatest natural evidence of God's existence?
