God Exists

 Do you have doubts about the existence of God? Doubt occurs when you're not sure about something, when you're debating whether it is a yes or a no.   In that doubt, there's room for yes, yes, yes.   If you were certain, you wouldn't have any doubts; you'd be certain that God doesn't exist, so you can give yourself the opportunity to explore the possibility that there is a God.   Those who don't believe say that man invented God.  But wait, explore the possibility of God.   Everything, absolutely everything, has a beginning, and science is increasingly getting closer to that beginning, the beginning of the universe we live in.   Just as plants grow from a seed, so the universe was born; we had a beginning. Have you heard of the Big Bang theory?   It basically states that at the beginning of the universe there was a big explosion, and from that explosion, stars, planets, and galaxies were born.   And there are laboratories where the conditions of this beginning are recreated, and we're getting closer to confirming it.   And what role does God play in science?   If there is a beginning, there must have been something that initiated that beginning.   Yes, you're thinking the same thing as me: That something was God! God, the perfection of good, God, uncreated.   Yes, God, in his infinite love, had a thought and created us.   And is this God the God the Bible speaks of? Of course, you won't believe that the universe had several beginnings. There is only one beginning, and so the beginning of all good, including the universe, is God, one God.   But if there is only one beginning and one God,   within which the three persons of the Holy Trinity fit, it is here that faith begins. It is an unfathomable mystery. But if you believe in this God of creation, then you can turn to the Bible.    And it is here, in this Bible,  where you can begin to know God. It says in Genesis 1:5:

  “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth had no form at that time; it was a deep, dark sea, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light. 4 When God saw that the light was good, he separated the light from the darkness 5 and called the light day; and the darkness he called night. Thus the first day was completed.”

You see? In the beginning, the Spirit of God was already there.  And so was Jesus, for he says in John 1:1-5:

 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 Through him, God made all things; without him, nothing was made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity. 5 This light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not been able to extinguish it.”

You see? That Word, who was God, was Jesus.

On the first day, God, with the infinite love of a Father, created light.   On the second, the sky, the sea, and the earth.   On the third, He created plants. On the fourth, the sun, the moon, and the stars.   On the fifth, sea animals and birds.   On the sixth, land animals.   And us too! In His likeness! For love of Jesus, and for love of us, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  And a love as great as God's had to have someone to love, and believe me, that's why He created us, to love us, to be happy, so that we would believe in Him and have eternal life. And where is complete happiness? It's in responding to that love that created us, that love that is God. You see? We didn't create God, He created us. And on the seventh day, God saw that all was good, rested, and blessed this day. And how can you reconcile millennia with days? The Bible says in 2 Peter 3:8 “ 8 Moreover, dear brothers, do not forget that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. ”
