Why I Believe in God…
Our Scripture for today is John 20:29.
“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”
It must have been wonderful to see Jesus in the flesh and to believe in him because of the miracles, sermons, and prayers. But Jesus said it is even more blessed to believe in him even though we have never seen him.
Over the years it has been my lot to sit with people who doubted God’s existence. They have asked me why I believe in God. Here is the fact. There is not one answer but many.
First, regarding belief in God, there is not absolute proof. There usually is not just one answer to the great questions in life. For example, why do you love the love of your life? Prove it! In the end, you only know by the preponderance of evidence. One thing adds to another, and finally, you just know. That is how we know God exists: by the preponderance of evidence.
There are many reasons that add up to make me believe. Over the next few days, I want to share them with you. Tomorrow, I will discuss the proof found in Ecclesiastes 3.
