To answer those that ask, why would a reasonable man even say there is an invisible God?
We answer There is a God because we have One that is recorded saying, He is God, and that He is the only God.
"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." Isa 45:22
Should you believe that recording because some man wrote it down 3000 years ago?
Well The importance needs to be investigated. HE is recorded by many more than one first hand witness, more like around 39 stenographers, prophets, going back about 4500 years ago, up until about 100 years after Jesus death, recorded in over 65 books.
He Proclaimed to be God, and had man record Him telling of the events back into the ages, of Noah, and even before that, recording events back into eternity in God garden. As if that was not difficult enough to record, this One claiming HE is God also proclaimed this miraculous declaration, a Proclamation by this ONE GOD is:
"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:" Isa 46:9-10
Foretell the end times from the beginning days, and have His word preserved for all generations to read even through this day. No man can do that, write the end times from the beginning.
All The stenographers/ prophets of His Word claimed it was not their words. In one case the prophet Jeremiah, told God he could not be a prophet he was a child and
"Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth." Jere 1:5; 9.
God is also recorded Proclaiming another miraculous event:
"Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." Isa 45 11-12
God commanding they ask Him of things to come regarding His Children and when they do ask, He then makes great declarations and proclamations, about His children future, their trials, their failures, their redemptions and their endings, all recorded, over the millenniums, in over 65 books. And here we are now, the end times, showing HIS prophecies recorded back then, are True today, as we give witness to the Father, the God of Abraham, and HIS SON THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.
This Evidence also confirms God is honoring His everlasting covenant, He made with Abraham some 5,000 years ago, and His seed after him. Gen 17:3-7, And God protects His children like the apple of His eye. Zech 2:8.
"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."
This was Prophesied by the One God in the OT too:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isa 9:6
The Son of God is the everlasting living Word of God that was Manifested in the flesh, most call him Jesus, some call him Yeshua, The living word of God, The SON, THE INHERITOR OF ALL THINGS none other than the ALMIGHTY GOD !!!
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." -Jesus Rev 1:8
Know God is One with His Word. You cannot separate the word of God from God as they are ONE. You hear the word God, you hear God. Only The Father can send the Son,, and did as the Sacrificial lamb for all that believed and repent might be saved. Acts 18:11 Jn 3:17
And we do believe the only begotten SON OF GOD inherited all things from his FATHER, John 16:15, this includes Almighty. Rev 1:8. by which also HE made the worlds, and your soul. Heb 1:2 Gen 2 7.
So One God DWELLING IN HIS WORD.
I wanted to concentrate on His word, as recorded, and clearly showing using the bible to provide the evidence of God is not circular reasoning. A very, century, old debate. I feel we have put that argument to bed, a few decades ago now, with HIS Evidence.
The recorded Word of God, included His prophecies of events to come, and that is needed to confirm His word as true or not. Nothing circular about that. But Good scientific preservation.
Now, before we can get to the list of His evidence, we have to talk about another very important piece of His evidence that we all know and see as true in our daily lives. There is Good. And there is evil. If you're too young to know this, then perhaps you can take a guided trip to the depths of our prisons, not only here, but in the third world countries too and then you too will agree it's undeniable there is Evil. The October 7th attacks showed us what evil look like. Using military grade weapons on concert goers. As they burn them in their cars with their children, at fifty four hundred degrees, using thermobaric grenades and beheaded their babies.
The battle between that which is good, and that which is evil is evident through out the ages since the beginning, as recorded with Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve and we also choosing to do that which is good or that which is evil and it is judged, as foretold in HIS recorded word. John 5 29.
This choice is the common denominator of all mankind.
You cannot know God without the word God. Without the Word of God any god would be an imaginary god. Something you or someone else made up. The Word of God tells you about the leaders of Good and evil that is evident and been known since the beginning of mankind.
List of some other evidence. Not a complete list as this is getting lenghty.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Heb 11:6
God provides rewards to those obedient to the faith. These rewards of God are evidence of God and His Word as true too. The blessings include but not limited too, love, health, peace, strength, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, jobs and national security, and too many to mention. Point being rewards of God also give evidence to God. Especially when it came to winning wars. Just ask the victors!
Below are some additional considerations to HIS evidence.
2. Creation through Seed Planting. Promises made to Abraham and his Seed after him. Issac and his seed after him. Your creation was witnessed as you plant seeds too.
3. Changed lives "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Cor 5:17): Matt 7:7
4. Personal experiences and answered prayers
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Visible things. (Jere 33:3)
5. Historical and archaeological evidence supporting biblical accounts. Many documentaries.
6. Personal relationship and communication with God through prayer and scripture.
7, My favorite the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is known and evident in all that have received Him.
God is not without evidence but has a lot of evidence. And our Faith is well grounded in the Evidence of God.
These evidences collectively demonstrate God's existence, visibility, and involvement in the world, from the creation of the universe to the transformation of individual lives through faith and prayer.
I pray this helps bring much insight and understanding of His Word, in Jesus name. Amen.
