I don't believe in the traditional idea of "God". I believe in powerful energies that are beyond our minds' grasp. In a sense, it's comparable to the idea of a "God" or a "Goddess".

Just look around. How can you see all that is here for us and not believe that there was someone behind it all? I mean if we were even a little bit closer to the sun we would all burn and if we were a little bit farther away we would all freeze. There is no way that amount of precision and design came from a big bang. The feeling of right and wrong, you really think that evolved from an animal? In the end, it comes down to whether or not you make that choice to give yourself up and hand God your whole life. I know I'm sure glad I did.

It's hard to believe, but what else could there possibly be? There has to be something more to life, some higher being that made life possible. There's no way that the world was here by coincidence. And honestly, it doesn't matter whether people are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or any other religion. People have obviously believed there is something divine since the beginning of time. It all has to mean something, which is why I have faith.

I don't say that I believe but that I submit I want to say first. But I would have to credit my parents with teaching me about God and religion though I am not a member of any organized religion.
The proof came for me when an illness that I had was miraculously cured the day after I prayed for it to be. This might sound like a fake testimony to some, but I know it's true. And there you go, the rest is history.

Yes and that is God. the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all that is seen and unseen. As a child I learned in Church and in classes at School. As an adult I read the Bible, and learned still more about God the Father, Jesus Christ His son and the Holy Spirit, Mary the Mother of Jesus you can get to know Him ...... If you seek Him you will find Him, He will change your life .

Because I know Him. I have the Holy Spirit within me. I've heard the voice of God twice and I've never forgotten His words. The Word of God is a powerful thing. He speaks to my conscience daily. I feel His presence and there is nothing in this world like it. Once you have a touch from God, you will hunger and yearn to hear and feel God once again. In His presence we change. We are more alive, more aware and more secure. You never want to do without Him. I've never done drugs but people say there is nothing like the Most High.
For sure, you can't get enough. There is something within us that connects directly to Him.

Seeing is not believing but believing is seeing. We have been given the written Word of God, the Holy Bible and it reveals how the world began and how it will end. You can doubt it, you can disbelieve it but the facts of it has been proven time and time again. Even according to what is written within it's sacred text, it says anyones who takes away from what is written therein shall also be take away his part in the kingdom of God. It is a compass in life, giving directions to every way of life and those who have faith in it find eternal life and their purpose for living. Those rejecting it also reject their rights to a divine coming Kingdom and shall not step one foot therein. There is a way into this glorious kingdom and religion shall not be anyone's ticket there. Christ and Him alone shall every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Have I always known this? No, for sin once had me blind and if God didn't put me on His road of life, I would have split hell wide open. So you have been given this divine right of choice to choose between right and wrong, good and evil, Jesus or Satan and which ever you choose or not to choose, you alone shall give an account. I was given this same choice in life and as for me and my house, We shall serve the Lord, and one glorious day, we shall be glorified with Christ to rule and reign with him in his coming kingdom for Christ has chosen me to be a king unto Him...Yet he calls everyone but who is listening?

I believe there are gods, but only one God, with a capital G, the creator of the universe, matter, energy, and living beings, because He allowed me to believe. God created humanity, the eternal God, who has no beginning and no end. God is from eternity to eternity. There could be only One.

when i was a teenager i was in class and a kid told me that there was no purpose for life. we are born, we live and then we die. i refused to believe that crap. so i started to read the bible. everything i read lined up with my life and i felt peace. i know that there is a God because God always believe in me. He knew me before i was born. that's amazing to me.
we all have a purpose in life. I'm going to do what God has called me to do here and right now and then i will have eternal life and inherit the kingdom of God.
