Many people in today's world wonder if there is a God.
Everybody has a theology or a belief system. An athiest doesn't believe God or any divine being exists. An agnostic isn't sure if there is a God or not. A polytheist believes in many gods or spiritual beings. An animist believes that things in nature all possess spirituality. There are a whole lot more categories of belief systems, including the dark side of satanism and witchcraft.
What is YOUR theology?
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
The Christian and the Jewish faiths believe in one God and that He is the creator of everything. Both also accept the first 39 books of the Bible as God's inspired Word (Christians include the 27 New Testament books to be Scripture, as well).
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." Deuteronomy 6:4
Because the Christian Church was birthed out of the Jewish faith, we also accept this truth: that the Lord is one God. We also believe that God reveals Himself. He speaks to the humans that He created. How?
"For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." Romans 1:20
God reveals His character - who He is - through what He has done. He displays His power and divinity through creation. Everyone can perceive that He is real and He does exist.
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge." Psalm 19:1-2
Without saying a word, God reveals Himself through the skies, the stars, the vastness of space. I remember standing out on the farm, staring into the blackness of night and locating the Big Dipper. I felt very small. And I wondered: is there a God out there? I'm thinking almost every human being has done that wherever people roam on this planet. Or what about those who have ventured out into space - their quotes are pretty amazing as they saw the heavens and viewed the earth from there!
"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small." Neil Armstrong
No matter what your theology may be, God is speaking. He is letting humanity know He is there. All you have to do is look up...
