Does God Really Exist?

(Christianity is a logical faith—you don't commit intellectual suicide when you believe the Bible. Here is a logical and Biblical test for God.)

God has put Himself on record so that we can test and prove Him. He does not expect us to follow Him blindly!

The book of Isaiah gives us God's way for us to test, or prove, that He does exist. It is true that God was talking about stone and wood gods at the time, but if this is His way for us to tell if something is a "god" then we can also use it to test for a "GOD" as well.

This test is very logical. Even though it is a test that God Himself gave for us to use, because it also stands to reason we can be assured that it is a very valid test.

The Book of Isaiah says, "Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they [be], that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together. Isaiah 41:22, 23

The above verse shows that prophecy (in other words, being able to accurately tell the future) is the test that God wants us to use. Telling us ahead of time that a very specific event will take place at a very specific time is God's way of proving that He really does exist. As stated before, this is a very logical test.

Many times in the Bible God has said something like, "I'm telling you this now so that when it happens you will know that I AM." Here are just two examples:

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 24:24
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure Isaiah 46:9, 10

The Bible is full of prophecies that have been fulfilled. Some of them are included in this web site, so be sure to follow all the links to each Bible Prophecy Timeline.

"Unbelief will ever find excuse for doubt, and will reason away the most positive proof." The Desire of Ages, page 386

"God never asks us to believe, without giving sufficient evidence upon which to base our faith. His existence, His character, the truthfulness of His word, are all established by testimony that appeals to our reason; and this testimony is abundant. Yet God has never removed the possibility of doubt. Our faith must rest upon evidence, not demonstration. Those who wish to doubt will have opportunity; while those who really desire to know the truth will find plenty of evidence on which to rest their faith." Steps to Christ, page 105

God does exist!

He is saying, "I AM...I am really here and I care about you".
