Answer 2

Because every time I am in real need for anything in my life I come across what i need weather it be money , food, people ... whatever it may be ! It appears and he is the only explination I have . I was broke 2 months ago and i had a disconnetion notice from my electric company because of the rates rising my bill was $360.00 i was on my way to work and found a wad of money rolled up with a rubberband around it underneath my mailbox ... I asked allof my neighbors if it was theirs and they said no there was 580.00 there ...just an example. I can only explain it through god. Maybe others would call it luck or coincedence but I cannot explain it away that easy.

Answer 3

God loves everyone and does not intend for people to get hurt. God is love, meaning he is everything beautiful and good. Sometimes we make bad decisions or the people around us do some bad things making us ache inside. God is not abandoning you when you hurt, He is calling you because you have forgotten Him. I believe in Him because I know He is the one who made all of the wondrous things of this universe and to give up faith in him is to give up on myself. Without him, the journey through life will be a lonely one full of sin and tragedy. Why wouldn't you believe in him? Just because you made some bad decisions? Just because someone around you did something bad? Because the Bible doesn't mention you in particular or some other petty reason? He has helped me and my family and friends through really tough times. A relative had severe cancer but survived with a lot of praying. My friend had so many crazy family issues going on and we prayed through those tough years together. Keep believing. Maybe you're not sure why, but it can't hurt to pray or believe.

Answer 4

God has saved my life more than once. I used to be suicidal when I was a teenager, even into my 20's. I was at Cane Creek on Roxie rd one afternoon. I loaded my 9mm, chambered a round, put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I wanted to die! Guess what? Nothing happened! I
chambered another round, put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. Again nothing happened! I aimed the gun at the water and pulled the trigger 5 times. The gun fired ALL 5 TIMES!!!!!
That's when I started believing in God. We're all here for a reason, and He won't call us home until that reason is fulfilled.
May God bless each and everyone of us!

Answer 5

Ok well this is going to be VERY hard to explain. I became a Christian because I grew up in a christian (cathiloc) family. I began reading verses from the bible, and became very faithful to God. No, there isn't any "scientific" proof that there is such thing as a God. But you just have to believe, and KNOW in your heart, mind, and soul that there is God. That God is the "answer" to all of your problems. Have faith and believe! Peace out!

Answer 6

I have not always believed in God. My quest started when I was young, I always felt there was no proof, but I was always fascinated with the subject. After years of emptiness and sin, the Lord chose to reveal himself to me. I am honored to know by truth what most just call faith. He has pulled me from my sins, eventhough I am not perfect, I am better then I was. He has opened my eyes, there are many things you can do that will make you happy, like love, or nature, or animals, or food, family, sports, hobbies, just find one and enjoy the time you get because it is short.

Answer 7

Consider this : An archaeologist digs deep into the desert sand and finds a piece of an old clay pot. After his investigations, this archaeologist can tell us, from this little old piece of dusty clay, so much about the civilisation that existed thousands of years ago that produced it; he can tell us about the types of ovens, temperatues, and dyes that they worked with, the raw materials that they used, and thus assess the level of their artistic skill and technological ability, etc. All this from a small piece of clay lying in the desert.
Did this archaeologist ever see the civilisation that produced this pot ?

How does he know that it ever existed ?

He knows because he saw that the piece of clay was produced by someone who designed it, and shaped it, and had the intelligence to be able to heat it and produce the pot, and not only that, they also had the ability to colour it and make it look beautiful.

Design ==> Designer.

To the archaeologist the existence and intricacy of the piece of pottery is conclusive proof of the existence, intelligence and ability of the people who made it.

Look around you: at the beautiful sunset on a summer evening, at the moon and the stars on a cloudless night, at the water that you drink, at the trees and how they grow from tiny seeds.

Think about yourself: your eyes with which you see, your ears with which you hear, your tongues with which you taste and talk, your hands and your feet, your heart and your brain.

Consider how these things are so complex in themselves and yet work together in such perfect harmony.

From the movement of the galaxies to the complexities of the interaction of molecules, from the dynamics of eco-systems to the intricacies of DNA, all lead to the obvious fact of the existence of the great Wisdom, Knowledge and Power that allows our Universe to exist and function.

To any perceptive person the existence and intricacy of creation is conclusive proof of the Existence, Knowledge and Wisdom of the One who creates, organises and sustains it.

Most people naturally recognise the existence of the Creator, and we find reference to the Creator in all cultures and religions. Even the atheists, communists and (disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but avoid the term 'creator', for phrases like 'Mother Nature' and 'the amazing way nature has designed...'

How strange in the face of this, that many today reject the belief in the existence of the Creator. Perhaps this is due more to fashion and the desire to justify a materialistic attitude to life rather than real observation and comprehension of reality.

Something stranger still, and perhaps another reason for the trend to deny the Creator, are those who claim that a man, or men, who walked on the earth, breathed air, who had bodies and souls subject to the Laws of the Universe, are the Creator, or manifestations of the Self-Subsistent One.

This is of course a complete contradiction in terms. Something cannot be the Creator and created at the same time, needing air, food and drink and being self-sufficient, being temporary and eternal!

If you are one of those who believe that a man such as Buddha, or Krishna, or Jesus is the Creator and Controller, then think again.

We were created from a drop of despised fluid, in which was a microscopic sperm, which in turn fertilised a microscopic egg and we grew in our mother's womb in stages predetermined, over which we had no control. We came from our mother's womb, urinating and defecating, needing constant attention and care. Without food we will die, without air we will die ... and then such a one is God?

Indeed any intelligent person would recognise exactly how dependant life, the universe and everything is on its Creator. Our dire need for His help makes itself plain in times of great distress.

Imagine yourself in an aeroplane and you know it is going to crash...

Who do you turn to for help then ?

Or on a ship in the sea, thrown helplessly up and down by towering waves ...

There will have been a situation at one time or the other in your life when you called upon your Creator alone, forgetting everyone and everything else, hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in your heart and soul that has power and control over all things would help you. The only One you know can save you!

Answer 8

I believe in G-d because how else would I live and breathe? How else would anyone be alive? Not some big bang in space, but because G-d created us all. How else would anything be here? Where could it all come from? Tell your friend to join a synagogue. I think he will like it and believe in what the Rabbis say. I know I do! :)

Answer 9

Because I have seen the affect He has had on my life. I know He is real because I have felt His presence and heard His small still voice calling me to come and live abundantly in His presence. He is with me always and He directs my path. Believing in Him is something it is difficult to explain unless you have experienced a living relationship with Him and even then it is sometime easy to be lost for words, and awestruck by His majesty.

God Bless!

Answer 10

Because if it wasn't for him none of us would be here today. He has taught me that I have not followed him the way I should have and if I did I probably wouldn't have had as many problems as I do. My family members who worship seem so peaceful. That's why I believe in God..

Answer 11

I believe in God for all the things He has done for me...more than I can possibly list......He took away the all the time, everyday pain I had in my knees. When I haven't had money for my school. books, someone else has provided the funds for them.
