Old Testament

                                             Is There Evidence God Exists?

In regards to the subject of ‘God,’ people have become increasingly more skeptical of the existence of God. People want evidence they can evaluate for themselves, and often a person will issue a direct challenge for evidence to prove God exists, during a discussion about the God of the Bible. This is a fair and valid question, so, is there evidence that the God of the Bible does indeed exist? 

Yes, there is substantial evidence; First, for the person who has never picked up a Bible, there are three witnesses, (1) Creation is an external witness that testifies to every person about the glory of God, Psalm 19:1-3, (2) Each person’s heart is an internal witness with God’s Moral Law written on their heart, and their Conscience also bears witness to this fact as their thoughts either accuse them or defend them in regards to their words and their works, Romans 2:15, (3) Physical death is an absolute witness and constant reminder to each person that something is wrong, that they are guilty and under judgment because of sin and rebellion against God, Genesis 3, Ezekiel 18:4. So, the person who has never picked up a Bible, knows God exists, they know they are accountable to God, and they know life is not as it ought to be, that life shouldn’t end in death. 

Second, for the person who has read the Bible, there are five more witnesses that prove the God of the Bible exists, (4) The Biblical Scriptures are the self revelation of God, (5) The Nation Israel is a witness, (6) Fulfilled Prophecy is a witness, such as Isaiah 53, (7) Archaeology testifies as a witness on many Biblical accounts, such as King David, (8) The historicity of Christ and the resurrection testify as another witness. Yet, people will deny the evidence and continue to suppress the truth about God, but Romans 1:20 says they are without excuse. 

Now, a question for those who suppress the truth and question the evidence of the existence of the God of the Bible; (1) What more would you have God do than what He has already done? (2) What more would you have God say than what He has already said? (Isaiah 5:4).
