Morning Devotion: What About?
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Without argument, the scriptures declare that God is. The scriptures also tells us that believing that God is, is faith.
But are there other evidences of God? Yes, most emphatically there are.
There is evidence from the conscience of man. Man, truly believes there is a higher being. While many will say that is not true, most likely from being proud, or hurt or taught an untruth. The man who believes he himself is God and refuses to acknowledge the one and true God does not negate the truth.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
However, the human conscience may refuse on the outside and in public, but deep down inside, man knows there is God. All over the world man worships something, their conscience demands it of them. Thus proving a belief in God.
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;
Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Even the term atheist demands a belief in God; to be an atheist means you believe in God or you would have no argument. The word atheist means against God; you cannot be against something that does not exist.
In my ministry, I have found man to deny the existence of God because if he yields to the truth his conscience demands he be responsible to God both here on earth and for all eternity. That one truth goes against the proud of heart.
The phrase or phrases like “There is no God and I can live the way I please” or “Live and let live” or “Do your own thing” have all come from the idea that there is no God.
Another argument may be “I can’t worship what I can’t see.” Has man never seen satan, yet, they worship satan. Has man never seen radio waves? yet the listen to the radio. Has man never seen electricity? (We see the results of electricity but have never seen it,) yet man uses it. Has man never seen magnetism, yet we use magnets in many appliances. Has man ever seen gravity, (We see the results of it.) The list is vast concerning things we do not see, yet, experience and use, making the argument of “I can’t worship what I can’t see” null and void.
We know God exist because our conscience demands it, whether we want to admit it or not.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Would you turn your heart to God? Would you be saved today and experience a wonderful relationship with God?
The choice is still yours,
