A question that man has asked since the beginning
of time, “Does God Exist?”
Some deny His existence, some have varying views of
His existence, others believe there are multiple gods in many forms that serve
many purposes.
If you have heard or read any of my messages you
know what I believe. Yes, God Does Absolutely Exist! He has been in existence
forever, The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End.
Scripture speaks of God as being an eternal, ever
existing being. God tells us so. The very first verse of the Bible “In The
Beginning God.”
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.
In the Beginning – He
existed, if you are a believer that should be enough, God has existed. Jesus
Himself in the Book of Revelation tells us in a couple of places that He is the
Alpha and the Omega, Jesus is The Beginning and The
End.
Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord
God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end.”
God says I Am, I have
Been and Always will be. I once heard a gentleman who was the chairman of a
very large company say, “I turned on the lights and I will be the one to turn
out the lights.”
God turned in the
lights, and as we see in Revelation He
will be the Last, the One to turn the lights out.
Genesis 1: 3-5
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there
was light. God saw that the light was
good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness
He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
God is, or as He told Moses “I Am”. He is, has
and always will be here, that is why He can declare “I Am”. Look around you and
see His creation that speaks loudly of a Great and Mighty God. No, I am not a
Pantheist, some one who feels the whole universe is God, I just see the world
and yes the universe as speaking to God's existence.
The world and the universe didn't just happen.
I don't believe it happened in a “big bang”. I see a world that had a creator
who had a plan. The earth set at the right distance from the sun, so we don't
burn up or freeze. I don't for a second believe we grew out of a single
molecule other wise I could talk to a tree and expect a response. That is a far-fetched
comment yes, but just as far fetched as many a theory I have heard bounced
around in my life time.
Psalm 19:1
The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
I believe it was all created, the universe,
the fish, the stars, the trees and every living creature by the work of His
hands. He spoke you and I into existence, and that sparrow, that whale and the
blade of grass. There is no other totally logical or scientific explanation.
I only need to walk on a beach, through a forest,
look out the windows of my home, go for a drive on roads less travelled. In all
of it I see God. The birds in the air, at a bird feeder, in a tree. Seeing a
seal, an otter, a deer, a fox or even a moose. Driving the road from our old
cottage and seeing a mother bear and he cubs run across the road.
God is, was and always will be. In all the world
around us I see His creation.
John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. He
was in the beginning with God. All
things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being
that has come into being. In Him was
life, and the life was the Light of men.
Jesus is the Word, He spoke the world and all
that is around into being. Yet He lowered Himself to come to earth so that you
and I would have a way to heaven.
God is, God was and God always will be.
As a new believer or some one who is seeking
answers look at the world around you. Look at the wonder of the world. The
mountains, the oceans, lakes and rivers. Consider the seasons. How can we
expect that all this just happened, wasn’t plan and set in place? We have
everything we need to live and more.
Have you ever considered the new you, considered
the you before you believed in Jesus and the you after you accepted Christ as
your Saviour? The old vs the new. The old has passed away and the new lives.
As Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the world
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
My message is to provoke thought and
consideration. Study the Bible, study the world around us. I am positive that
you too will say “Does God exist, Yes!”
