how do you know god is real?

Answer 1

Many people believe that all creation happened due to chance or evolution. Let them consider these facts about our marvelous earthly home and then see if they still have doubts about a Creator:
The earth is placed at just the right distance from the sun, its source of energy in the form of light and heat.
It moves around the sun at just the right speed, and rotates on its axis every 24 hours, and has just the correct angle of tilt.
It has a protective, life-sustaining atmosphere with just the right mixture of gases.
It provides the water and soil needed to grow food.
It provides a variety of delicious and colorful fruits, vegetables and other foods.
We also are able to enjoy the beauty that exists in the sky such as rainbows, the stars and a moonlit night.
We enjoy the mountains, the streams and lakes, the varieties of beautiful fragrant flowers, plants and trees and so many other delightful living things.
When I consider all these things and how I am able to see in living color and can taste all the foods the earth provides, then yes---God is real and all things were created by intelligent design.

Answer 2

When you see a building do you believe there was a builder? When you see a painting do you believe there was a painter? Just like when you look at CREATION....there is undoubtedly a CREATOR-- which is God- As he did create the heavens and the earth ( Genesis 1)
I do have faith, BIG faith in Him and I believe every word of HIS is true....His Holy Spirit resides in me and reveals His truth to me through his Holy Word ( the bible) Read Ephesians 1-2 to know more about once you are saved in Christ you receive the Holy Spirit....

Also Romans 1:20-22
20For 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. 21For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

Answer 3

When I look at the sky in the evening and see all He made, or when I see beautiful trees, or creeks, or sunrises/sunsets, and little babies I thank Him for all He has given us to enjoy. I know He is real because He reveals Himself everyday when the sun rises. He lets me know in my heart or my consciousness that He is real and here! Read the Psalms, especially Psalm 8, Psalm 33, and Psalm 104. All over the Bible of course we are told about God, but these Psalms tell of His power and His creation.

Answer 4

As the simplest expanation of the existance of God without using scientific, archeolagical, or rational explanations of the truth of the Bible; Nothing can exist without something to create it logically. I have a Ford truck. I have never met anyone who made my truck. I don't know how they do it or where exactly. I have never seen the factory where my truck was assembled and yet I know that because the truck exists, so do the people who put it together.

The idea that there was no form of creation and that the universe just kind of fell together to support human life which derived from billions of years of evolution from some sort of pond scum that still would have to come from somewhere seems so far fetched that it is not even rational for me to think that this is a more trustworthy idea than the possability of a devine being that we cannot comprehend fully.

Therefor, despite religion of any form, I believe that a creator of the cosmos exists. Scientists have stated that there are approximately 1 billion galaxies with 1 billion starts in each. That is a lot of stars. The sun is only one and supports this entire solar system. Out of all of those stars we are the only solar system containing life? That is a unthinkable amount of heat and light as well. Where did all this energy come from? It is apparent that evolution or naturalism is more of a manmade theory as to the existance of life to fill in the blanks, but it still leaves a list of questions even greater than the one it tried to answer.

Therefor if there has to be a creator for something to exist, which one is it? What religion is truth if any? Rationally I can look at several religions and toss out a majority that don't even explain any form of creation. If I were to assume that God was the creator of all this because of the amount of historical evidence, which faith is real? Allah (Islam), God (Christianity), ...etc...etc..

So I look at what books have the most evidence... Bible, Quran,etc.

I have found the Bible has more credible information than any other book I have read regarding creation and the creator. Some of these sites may help with the rational explanation for this belief.

I don't really understand why religion gets such a pounding today. Why is religion looked at as some kind of fairy tale, brain washed zombie people believing lies? This is a choice. Mine was not made for me or pounded into my head. I have had several daily confimational experiences with God to confirm my belief. The more I have tried to find evidence that I am wrong, the more evidence I find that I am right.

You will continue to feel this unexplainable void in your life no matter what you try to fill it with until you accept God. C.S. Lewis explained it as a God shaped vacuum in our soul. I think that fits perfectly. I have never been so content and peaceful with life as I am now. Only God can fill that emptiness.

I am currently going through one of the hardest things in my life and I am still suprised because I am so peaceful. I am not worrying about it. I am not ignoring it, but I am not scared. There is only one explanation for that peace in my mind.

If you want to know more about God I would invite you to go to a church (Bible based). If you find a good church, people will accept you as you are (not requiring you to dress or act differently) and will help you find what you are looking for. If you seek Him, you will find Him. Keep seeking. He is waiting.

Answer 5

He is real because we are alive, he made this world,he is the only person who is with us in the difficult times.He is the person who watches over us.He is in our hearts.We may not see him but the people who believe in him could hear him.God is so real that he gave his only son to die in the cross for us.He is so real that he gives us blessings even if we don't deserve him.He loves us so much that he gave us a life.He is so real that his love is so strong and powerful.He is so real that it made you ask that question.Because you wonder if there is a person who loves us very much more than anybody in this world.He is real!!!!God Bless.

Answer 6

One way I have come to know he is real, is by getting to know him through his word the bible. He created all of us to love and to think wisely, unlike the animals who do things because of instinct.
When you look at all of his creations around you, you can see he really cares about us. He gives us so much varieties and choices. Just think of the wind, you can feel it, but you cannot see it. But you know it is there, because of what it does. That is similar to God. Even though you can't see him with your own eyes, you know he is out there. Also, when you feel the heat of the sun on your face, remember someone powerful created it for us to have beautiful days, and to sustain life on earth. To me that is alot of proof that their is a God out there who loves us.

Answer 7

With all of the miracles that have ever happened, how wouldn't I know that God is real.

Answer 8

supposidly people never knew the earth was round even after the bible was created. in the old testimant it describes the earth as a circle Isaiah 40:22 the circle of the earth. so if people didnt know the earth was round and the bible is inspired of god then how could someone in the old testament know that the earth was round?

Answer 9

I don't. That's why it's called faith, because you must trust in your soul that God is real without any evidence, that is the true measure of a person's belief and faith.

Answer 10

it's really strange that some people really say "there is no God". i just can't believe they say that. sometime i feel they are blind, and sometime i feel God does not want to show them the truth. i just can't find a logic answer of how some people dare to say "there is no God". i don't get it. ... everything around is an evidence of the uniqueness of God.
