I was asked recently, \u201cWhy do you believe in God?\u201d\u00a0 That was a really good question.\u00a0 It is far better than, \u201cWhat is the evidence for God?\u201d \u2014 as if there were a proof for His existence.<\/p>\n
The Bible does not argue the case for the existence of God but simply and consistently assumes Him. The Apostle Paul asserts that deep down we all have a gut awareness of God.\u00a0 Some people choose to suppress that sense; others choose to accept and even nurture it.<\/p>\n
Scientific evidence is open to interpretation.\u00a0 One interprets from a theistic (believing in God) perspective and another from an atheistic (not believing in God) perspective.\u00a0 So our interpretation of scientific evidences will depend on our presuppositions and what we think about God.\u00a0 To expect science to determine what we believe is to put the cart before the horse.<\/p>\n
There is a common assumption that science has in some way disproved God or made belief in Him impossible for a thinking person.\u00a0 This is patently not the case.\u00a0 There are certainly some, or even many, scientists who do not believe in God, but there are also scientists who do believe in God.\u00a0 There are bankers who believe in God and bankers who do not and that doesn\u2019t prove anything either!<\/p>\n
Actually, it is simply a matter of choice.\u00a0 I choose to believe in, to worship and to serve God.\u00a0 I do not make that choice contrary to reason.\u00a0 In deed, it is a very reasonable choice to make.\u00a0 I choose to believe because not to believe is unthinkable and unliveable.\u00a0\u00a0 To believe makes sense in itself and makes sense of everything else.\u00a0 I am convicted by the Holy Spirit of God.\u00a0 There could be no peace for me in rebelling against that conviction.\u00a0 What God gives to me is faith, hope and love.\u00a0 These three, the greatest of which is love, I would find nowhere else.\u00a0 I choose to believe, and I could choose no other way.\u00a0 What I find hard to believe is that anyone could not believe!<\/p>\n
