Intro:
Some People are still today looking for a God that they already Know…..
The Subject today is God.
Some Questions we will ask and Hopefully answer are: Does God Exist?
How can we know Him?
And Who and What is He?
The Doctrine of God.
1.
The Godhead (Trinity)
2. God the Father
3. God the Son
4. God the Holy Spirit
-It is a basic, and innate, Curiosity of all Men to know if God Exists.
-All Cultures throughout history have a God in some way.
-That would bring us to the conclusion that it is innate in all of us to search for God.
Even in today’s culture of “no God” the world has tried to set up the laws of evolution as God, so that we can have our god, but owe nothing to it.
But because this does not satisfy the soul, the search does not end there.
-Does God Exist?
Satan puts that thought in our head….
-All of us at one moment or other have thought or asked the Question, is there a God or not?
Am I investing my life in something real?
We have to make the decision for ourselves.
-It is a Fundamental Choice:
-If we choose to believe that there is a God, then we have to act on the knowledge that God is our creator and King, and we will live our lives according to that knowledge.
-But, If we choose to believe that God does not exist then we have to prove to ourselves and others that He doesn’t exist.
We become at war with the thought of a God.
Today I want to give you the assurance that God does exist and it does matter if He exists or not.
Acts 4:12 tells us that there is no Salvation (Eternal life) outside of Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation........"
-People choose to deny the existence of God because of the selfishness of the heart.
Giving up the pleasures of the world is too difficult.
-So instead of just going on with life they need to deny that God exists so that they do not fall under the penalty of Gods law.
-Illuistration of willingness to dismiss the existence of God:
-A college student was in a philosophy class which was having a discussion about God's existence.
The atheistic professor presented the following logic:
"Has anyone in this class heard God?" Nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in this class touched God?" Again, nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in this class seen God?" When nobody spoke, he simply stated, "Then there is no God."
-This is the way that modern science has taught us to view God.
If we cannot Hear, Touch, feel, or See then it does not exist.
-Yet even science is forced to admit that the things we cannot touch, see, hear or feel can affect us and they do exist.
-Take for example: Radiation: whether it is Atomic energy radiation, radio wave radiation, or a magnetic field.
Nobody can Hear, Touch, Feel or See this radiation.
Yet we all know the effects of it on us, and if we say it does not exist we could be in extreme danger of its effects whether we believe in it or not.
-With God, like radiation, we can see the effects of His existence but we cannot Hear, Touch, Feel or See Him.
But we can still know he exists.
-One student in the Professor’s class thought for a second, and then raised his hand.
Curious to hear the student's response, the professor pointed to him, and the student stood up and asked the following questions to his classmates:
"Has anyone in this class heard our professor's brain?"
No answer.
"Has anyone in this class touched our professor's brain?"
No answer.
"Has anyone in this class seen our professor's brain?"
Nobody in the class dared to speak, then student said, "Then, according to our professor's logic, it must also be true that He has no brain as well!"
-Romans 1:18-20 says "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and....."
-This verse says that God has revealed Himself to the world through the Word and through nature and all are without excuse of a knowledge of Him.
-Faith
-This is where faith comes in.
We start with seeing the effects of his existence we then connect them to God, then we Believe through faith that He does exist.
Our faith is then exercised.
Faith is the Key.
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God….Romans 10:17
-Does it Matter if God Exists?
Today People are not only concerned if God exists, but does it matter if He exists?
Their Question is; if God is there why should I care?
What does it matter to me?
-Eternal Life
-My answer to those people is, YES it does matter, because God wants to give us eternal life.
-If you are satisfied with the thought that we have on average, 70 or 80 years to live and that is it, and you’re OK with that, then maybe it doesn’t matter.
-But if you’re like me and the thought of being able to live forever youthfully in happiness and joy, in a place better than this world, then it should matter a great deal.
-Why must we believe in God through faith?
-Because God wants us to search for Him.
-and wants us to believe in Him through free choice, He does not want us to be compelled to believe in Him.
-He also wants us to serve Him through Love and not fear, because God is Love.
-How can we know God?
-If seeking a knowledge of God is innate in us, how then can we know the god that we search for?
-Human wisdom alone cannot know the divine.
Depending on human wisdom alone to learn about God is like using a magnifying glass to study the stars.
Although it may be of some help it is virtually useless.
-God has always revealed his existence in two ways:
-Nature, and Scripture.
-Satan has tried to efface both means of revelation through so-called science.
But Gods revelation has stood firm.
-Nature, .........
-Scripture ..........
-What is revealed about God?
-There is one God.
God is revealed in both the New, and Old Testament as One God:
Deuteronomy 6:4 says: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
Then in James 2:19 it says: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
-But God is Plural.
While God is declared as one God, He is also declared as Plural:
Genesis 1:26; Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and
Genesis 3:22 Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil
-What is the Relationship of the beings in the Godhead?
-Let us Consider Water
-A three atom molecule - H2O
-Water contains two hydrogen atoms to every oxygen atom, a virtual trinity of atoms.
All life is dependent on the existence of water.
