Q190: Why does God exist?

To make the world and us I suppose – He needed a family to call his own, you know. Maybe that should include the ‘Big Bang’ and the universe. Who, or what else, could do that? Science lives by the ‘Big Bang’ Theory. But, it is only a theory!

And as for us humans, only a loving, brilliant creator could create the human body. It is so incredibly complex and beautiful at the same time. And 7,000,000,000 faces and no two are exactly the same. That did not come about by evolution!

And the ‘Good News’. I recently read of an aid group meeting in some place to discuss ‘need among poor people’. One non-Christian asked the missionary: “What can you offer these people that we can’t?” The missionary replied, “Forgiveness.” People need a ‘peaceful’ conscience, free from the shame of guilt and regret. God can do that for us as no other ‘god’ can. Some people have such a load of hidden shame and regret that they even suicide to be free of it. Others worry and fret in shame at what they have done in the past. God came to offer ‘Forgiveness’ to us. He came in the form of Jesus. Quite a few prisoners in our jails have time to ‘think’. They read the Bible and get the whole picture of Jesus, who He was and why He came to the earth. They ‘get converted’ there and begin a new direction in their lives – and never return to crime. Others are not sorry for their crime, get out eventually, but resume a life of crime, as they did before, and back to jail!
