I Believe in God, in Jesus Christ.

First, I believe in God because there is no good evidence that atheism, or believing there is no God, is true.  Now I say this, but some people might say well there is no good evidence that God exists either.  But If God didn’t exist then who or what created the universe? If God didn’t then the universe would have had to come from nothing.  I’d rather believe in a superior loving God creating me and the world I live in, than know I come from nothing and it’s just by chance I’m on earth.

Second, if there is no God then who or what put the intelligent design in the universe, especially in life’s DNA sequence?  There are so many amazing things in our universe; the way certain animals are created, the way our sun and moon work together, everything in our universe is perfectly put together so that we can live on our planet.  How can we say there is no God, with all these amazing things around us keeping us alive?  All things had to be created by some intelligent and magnificent designer. How could anyone believe they come from nothing?  Also, If God didn’t exist then I am just a person who has no real purpose. I’m not fearfully and wonderfully made (I really am, lol, Psalm 139:14).  I’m not original. I’m just one of many and how could I have confidence in myself to do anything great, because I’m just like everyone else.

 Thirdly, where do our universal moral values come from? If there is no God then why should I care about what I do on earth?  Why should I live how people want me to live?  If God didn’t exist I would do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.  I’d give into myself and live only for myself. If there were no moral standards, no God, to keep me accountable then I should live for myself and today’s satisfactions, because when I die I’m just nothing again.

            I believe there is a God because he has revealed Himself in the person and work of Jesus Christ with the origin of Christianity, the empty tomb, and in resurrection appearances. Also, the Bible and its message have been examined by every test and found to be genuine and accurate throughout.  There are fulfilled prophecies which are authenticated by the Dead Sea Scrolls, also the Bible is historically accurate, and archaeology has been verified back to King David. With so much evidence for Christianity and really none in other religions, how could I not believe in a God? All the evidences point towards Him.

            Lastly, why I believe in Jesus Christ, my God, is because God can be immediately and personally experienced through salvation with salvation experiences, answered prayers, and miracles God proves to be real.  Jesus Christ is the only God that does not require works in order for you to be saved or go to Heaven.  He only asks that once a man or woman recognizes the need for salvation and realizes that God has provided for their salvation through Jesus Christ, he or she must go on to embrace it. Salvation is a process of confessing and believing (Romans 10:9). A man must confess that Jesus is Lord and this confession of Christ as Lord also assumes that it is Christ who will work and fulfill His own righteousness within man. Next, he or she must believe that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead. This belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus carries with it the realization that the penalty has been paid for sin and power is provided for man to live a life free from sin.  God only asks that we confess our sins and come to him, love Him, and know him.

God is the Father that loves his child unconditionally, the Husband that loves him wife passionately, and the Shepard that watches his sheep continuously and soooooo very much more. How can anyone say there is no God? 

........ It’s beyond me........

  People say it’s foolish to be a Christian and believe in Jesus.  Well then I’m a huge fool to them! But to God I’m His child, His wife, and His lamb. I am a Christian and I believe in God!
