Does God Exist?



The Bible does not attempt to prove that there is a God. The first verse in the Bible reads as follows: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). No further discussion or debate is needed concerning the existence of God. Man's wisdom will never lead to a knowledge of God. This can only come through faith. 1 Corinthians 1:21; Hebrews 11:6.

Every person has been given two clear testimonies of God's existence. One of these testimonies is the world that God has created. This outward testimony is easily observed by all men. Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:19-20. Another testimony is the conscience that He has placed within every person. Romans 2:15. The Bible clearly describes the person who rejects these testimonies: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good" (Psalm 14:1).

Atheists deny the existence of God not because of logical or scientific arguments. Their real reason for denying God's existence is a moral reason. Denying God's existence is a way of seeking to avoid being responsible to an Almighty Creator. “If there is no God, I can live as I wish and have no accountability or responsibility. I don't need to ever fear judgment for my sin”. Those who claim that there is no God are simply rejecting truth that exists within their heart and conscience. They are lying to themselves and have become futile in their thoughts, their foolish hearts darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, according to Rom 1:21-22.
