Because I met somebody in my heart that I identify as God.

I believe in God Because of the love that he shows and gives me for I am not a perfect person and many times in life I tend to slip away, but he stills keeps on blessing me and forgiving me.
I believe in God Because I can feel his presence and when I need him to be there He is. He takes control of the situation and gives me knowledge and peace.
I believe in God because I have seen his power for he has used me and through me people have been healed from sicknesses - come out of comas and freed any in-slaved.
That is why I believe in God.
What about you?

I believe in God for two reasons:
1) Because I was brought up in a Christian home (mostly this).
2) Because of all the evidence (mostly the Bible) that proves his existence. Some things in this world can't JUST HAPPEN...and everything happens for a reason.

Wow, a very basic question and a good one.
Of course it's hard to explain it in a short message. There isn't one simple reason, more like a confluence of reasons.
Basically, I spent a lot of years not believing in God, and arguing with my mom and aunts and other people about why I should not believe in him. I was raised without religion. Then one day my mom asked me to simply try praying, and if I didn't know what to say, just say, "God, I don't know what to say." But the gist of the prayer was to be, "If you do exist and if you are a good and loving God I would like to know you and understand you better." That was something I could pray with sincerity because it was true: If there was such a God I would want to know him. I just wasn't willing to pretend I believed if I didn't.
To make a long story short, God answered my prayers in vary subtle and gradual ways, and very gradually I changed from agnosticism to belief in God's existence, then to an actual love for God and a desire to please and obey him, then to belief in his son Jesus Christ and in his Church.
I remember one day as the turning point, and that consisted in a conscious decision to stop complaining and making demands on God (who I claimed not to believe in), to begin submitting to him and humbly requesting his help. From that moment on I experienced a kind of peace I had never known before.
I have other reasons as well, and arguments I can make in support of my beliefs, but this describes my basic experience which led to my belief in God. If you want to know more, feel free to e-mail me.

I believe in God because He is the reason of my existence, the reason I live and breath. When I let God into my life, He changed me and filled me. God made me feel complete, loved, satisfied, beautiful, happy and soo much more.
I believe in God because Jesus is the way, the truth, the life... The light, God means everything to me. He is the Lover of my soul. =)

I could give several arguments for the existence of God, but on a personal level:
1. He gave me the faith to believe. No one, in their flesh, believes in God, not the God of the Bible. Unless God gives you the faith to believe, indwells you with the Spirit, and opens your eyes and ears to the truth, you simply will not believe, you do not have the ability or capacity to believe.
2. The truth and veracity of Scripture. It continues to prove itself, over and over again. Even though the critics still try to tear it down, it remains a strong structure, immune to the tiny pebbles thrown its way.
3. Jesus Christ. His life, His words proved that God exists and that He was indeed, God incarnate. His resurrection proved His claim to deity. The empty tomb still stands as beacon to the lost, a sign that says, "Come to Me all you who labor, and I will give you rest".

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believer's case:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's case:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

That is an excellent question. Why do I believe I will wake up tomorrow...I guess that I have faith. How is it that I know this. I don't. Then how can I have faith in anything. I just do. Once you become a Christian you suddenly understand all that has been uncertain.

By faith...I know that God is real!
I don't know why other people aren't thankful for what he did for them!!!
I guess they just don't know!
I guess they just want to see his face before they believe!!
Well I am sure it won't be too long off before everyone Will see his face and then for alot of people...it will be too late!
Maybe more people will come to believe in Him!!
But I guess everyone has the right to their own religion of choice!
What ever floats your boat!!!
But I know that God floats my boat!!!!

Aetheists think every thing evolved by itself without any one having to do with it. They are dead wrong.
The perfect self sustaining earth with oxygen producing plants, water, rains, mountains that store year to supply year around, the system of sun evaporating ocean water, clouds carrying the steam. air pushing them where water is needed and rain coming down to sustain life on earth. All these could not possibly happen by itself. The creator of all living beings and life sustaining earth with plants and animals which do their job to maintain the earth .... there is a creator of all these called GOD Allmighty.
There are lots of things man can not possibly figure out himself like soul, angels, the reproductive system of living beings, how a female gets pregnant, baby develops from a sperm that can not be seen with naked eye, soul enters in fetus when it is 4 months of age.
So God sent out of men his chosen Messengers and sent messages (Divine Revelations) through angels he created for this purpose (Gabriel) to explain and guide humans..
He says I am God, your Lord and we accept and believe in Him and thank Him for giving us life, air and food to live.
Any one who refuses to accept God and refuses to thank his/her provider is a fool and wretched person worthy to be wasted in hell fire.
God explains in Quran stage by stage how a sperm develops in the womb of mother so accurately that todays scientists know Prophet Muhammad being illiterate couldn't have possibly known about reproductive system himself.
Today after reading the scientifically accurate mention of how sperm develops in mothers' womb scientiss are declaring the existence of God and that Quran is a Divine Revelation.
Refer the web site below:

I ask Bible believers...Do you have such an accurate information about human reproductive system in Bible?
