How do you know God is real?
How do you know somebody didn't just make him up to make us all feel better and to make us all feel less alone?
Those are probably the biggest questions someone could ask. Let's just take a second to understand that God has not left us without any kind of evidence for His existence. God knows we would be kind of crazy to make up something to believe in. With that being said, He helps us discover the real thing. So here is the evidence He has left for us.
1. Nature.
Nature isn't just some random trees and grass. It's all put in a consistant order. Now here is a question, Could this consistant order and beautifully planned thing we call nature really happen without a designer to put it all together? I mean without a very personal, and caring creator does any of that seem possible? Explosions cause chaos and damage, Only a creator can cause this order and beauty.
2. Human Individuality.
No two humans are the exact same. I mean every human face has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and yet all faces look different. If we were all created by some force why wouldn't we all just be identical? The differences of each person shows that there could only be a personal creator who values those differences of His creations.
3. Knowing the difference of Right and Wrong.
Let's say there is no good Creator and no personal God, Why do we have a sense of wrong and right? Every person at some point has a sense of what is right and what is not. That points to a Moral Creator. If not, it would all be a matter of personal preference. Even murderers have a sense of right and wrong when they are being convicted.
4. Love.
How did humans learn to care about each other? Why do people need their family long after they are no longer dependent on them? Why do men and women crave a romantic relationship with one another? I mean flowers don't marry other flowers. Humans have an ability to give and receive love. It has to be more than just instinct.
5. Jesus Christ.
He is much more than a teacher, prophet, and religious leader. How do we know that Jesus died and rose again, to never die again? No human can do that. Through Jesus, God showed people himself, what he is like.
6. The Bible.
The Bible comes directly from God himself. It says how God acted in the past, how to obey his word in the present, and how he will act in the future. The bible has archeological, historical, scientfic, and internal proofs. In 2 Timothy 3:16 it describes the Bible as God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
Lastly from a personal point of view. When I walk into church and my Pastor is talking about exactly, word for word, what I am going through, or when I've prayed about something and received no answer, but also when I got the exact answer I needed. God does not just walk in and sit in front of our faces, but he is always with us if we seek him.
