How can I be sure that God Exists?

There is no nation or tribe in the world which does not, in one form or another, believe in a God, a spirit, or a being that is superior to itself.

This fact even applies to the most isolated tribes who have never had contact with another culture, let alone heard the gospel. 

How is that possible?

Firstly, humans have the intellectual capacity to deduce from the vast, beautiful creation surrounding us that there is an invisible creator. Nobody believes that a car, a watch, or a paper clip just happened; there always has to be a creator. 

This is evidence from Paul statement in the New Testament:

Romans 1:20-21 (NIV)

20. 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 people are without excuse.


21. 
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

In verse 20 ~ Paul affirms that we will all be without excuse before God because we can experience the extent of His power and divine nature through creation alone.

In verse 21 ~ Paul continues to say some Humans have ignored this very evidence and have instead rejected His existence in love for their own wicked deeds.

This is true of all who have disregarded the existence of God, as they desire the darkness more than acknowledging the presence of a Holy God.

This is the burden of Romans chapter 1, that in the light of all the evidence available no one can claim ignorance of God as an excuse for refusing to honor Him or be grateful to Him. 

Psalm 19:1 (NKJV)

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Another good argument for the existence of God is the complexity with which creation is designed, allowing us to conclude on His power and knowledge.

Still, it does not give us any information about His character (e.g., love, life, mercy, goodness).

The Bible has been given to us for this purpose, to know Him. Therefore, if you want to know God in His fullness, you should read the scriptures to unfold His Nature and His divine plan for you.

The complexity through which creation is designed is clear evidence for the existence of God.

Who is God?

Here are few examples of who God is. His nature and everything about Him.

love satan?

If we are to love our enemies, should not God also love Satan?

The Bible tells us to forgive and pray for our enemies. Does this mean the same for God? Will God ever forgive Satan?

Create satan

Did God create Satan? And if so why does He not just get rid of him?

The Bible tells us that God is love, gentle, kind and just. If so how could a God like this create Satan who is evil?

loving allow suffering

Why would a loving God allow suffering?

This question distinguishes between two characteristics of love and suffering. However, it can be misleading as it assumes that God had inherently prepared for a world for pain and sickness. This is not true.

God change his mind

Does God change His mind?

No. God does not go back on His promises nor does He tell us something one day and something different the next. Unlike us, God can always be trusted to keep His Word.
