More than 95 percent of Americans believe in God, or so
the polls claim (Barna Online Research, www.barna.org). Whether this belief is something
that crosses their minds very often is another issue. This same poll,
taken in 1997, mentioned that 15 percent say God is no longer involved
in their lives.
If you were in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and were running down
the stairs to exit the building, the thought that God was alive and able
to help you might have been very much on your mind. Does God help us when
we cry out? Is there a powerful Being who offers us hope and life? What
happens when we die? We need to find answers to these important questions.
Did you know that you can prove whether there really is a God? If you say you believe in God, then think it through. Taking some quiet time to ponder this important question can help you have more peace and confidence about your future. No one has ever seen God in person, at least in our generation. Those in the first century not only witnessed the life and miracles of Jesus Christ, they were convinced He was the Son of God. Was He? Or was Jesus just the carpenter's son who started a social movement? Check out our booklet: "Who Is God?".
Much of the evidence that you might use to prove that there is an all-powerful Creator may be hard for others to understand. Hebrews 11:3 says, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." In other words, God used His invisible, spiritual power to establish the physical creation.
