Why a God
Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”
Just look at creation; a sunset, a lilac bush, a thunderstorm, the moon and tide of the sea, a dragonfly, the glittery specs on a small rock, the colors in the eyes of the one you love, the placement of the earth, the code of our DNA, the human conscience and our will to fight against it. This is not a product of chance. It is a scientific and mathematic impossibility.
Why the Bible
Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Every word of this book I hold dear lives and breaths truth to my spirit. It breaks down and removes the chains of my fleshly desires and turns my eyes heavenward.
They have attempted, since the first words were written in stone, to discredit and destroy this message to humanity. All have failed, and for thousands of years Gods word has remained.
Why Him
Romans 3:23, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God…. The wages of sin is death.” 6:23
The chaos of this world is evidence that we are not evolving on to bigger and better things and that the sins of mankind are destroying Gods perfect creation. My conscience bares witness within me that I am a sinner. I will undoubtedly see many perishing on judgment day that I never held out a spiritual hand to. They will be going to a death that I deserve. Of all the “gods” this earth has to offer, only Jesus provides reconciliation. Only the God of the Bible has provided a fully just and fully merciful way.
“Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:24
Where is the assurance in works? One could never know what side of the scale is weightier or what the true intent of our hearts is.
When I stand before the judge I will be singing the praises of my Lord who already paid my fine. How do you plan to pay?
