Need proof God exists?
Because he loves you so much, he will show you he does, in his word and through experiencing him in your life!
"Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." (Psalm 34:8)
Let me ask you something, Do you think Christians or Christ followers are the only ones God will hold accountable for knowing him (or not) and doing his will (or not)?...
TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK! TICK TOCK.
OK times up!
Non - Christians ARE accountable too because God created us all and is sovereign!
He has made himself known to all of us! I will begin to show you how according to scripture.
But for your own knowledge, begin reading Romans chapter 1 in the Holy Bible.The answer is explained in
Romans chapter 1 verses 19 & 20, to start.
I use the Life Application Study bible, N.I.V.
Tyndale Publishers, Inc.
SCRIPTURE
(V.19) Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
FOOTNOTES:
(V.19) Does anyone have an excuses for not believing in God?
The bible answers with an emphatic no! God has revealed what he is like in and through his creation. Every person, therefore, either accepts or rejects God. Don't be fooled.
When the day comes for God to judge your response to him, no excuses will be accepted.
Begin today to give your devotions and worship to him.
(V.20) What kind of God does nature reveal?
Nature shows us a God of might, intelligence, and intricate detail; a God of order and beauty;
a God who controls powerful forces. That is the 'general' revelation .
Through 'special' revelation (the Bible and the coming of Jesus), we learn about God's love and forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. God has graciously given us both sources that we might fully believe in him.
(More on V. 20) God reveals his divine nature and personal qualities through creation, even though creation's testimony has been distorted by the fall. Adams sin resulted in a divine curse upon the whole natural order
(Genesis 3:17-19); thorns and thistles were an immediate result, and natural disasters have been common from Adam's day to ours.
In Romans 8:19-21, Paul says that nature itself is eagerly awaiting its own redemption from the effects of sin
(see Revelation 22:3).
SCRIPTURE
Genesis 3:17-17
To Adam he said, Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it, "Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.
(V. 18) It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
(V.19) By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are and to dust you will return."
FOOTNOTES
Genesis
(V. 17-19) Adam and Eve's disobedience and fall from God's gracious presence affected all creation, including the environment. Years ago people thought of nothing of polluting streams with chemical wastes and garbage. This seemed so insignificant, so small. Now we know that just two or three parts per million of certain chemicals can damage human health. Sin in our lives is similar to pollution in streams. Even small amounts are deadly.
SCRIPTURE
Revelation
(V.22:3) No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
FOOTNOTES
Revelation
(V. 22:3) "No longer will there be any curse" means that nothing accursed will be in God's presence. This fulfills Zechariah's prophecy (See Zechariah 14:11) .
I'm Finished.
FOR NOW!
