Does God Exist?: Helpful Resources Confronting Atheism

4 Min Read

Does God exist? We often hear of others and may even find ourselves struggling from time to time with this ultimate question. It is a question not to be taken lightly, but how do you present a God you cannot see to a friend, co-worker or family member that has decided He does not exist? How do you answer questions to atheistic arguments? R.C. Sproul explains:

"There is a powerful emotional bias against the existence of God because the worst news possible to an impenitent sinner is that God exists, that He is Holy and that He is going to hold you accountable for everything that you have ever done and every word you’ve ever said. That’s terrifying.

I must always ask myself, Do I believe what I believe because I am honestly persuaded by cogent reasoning that it is true, or do I believe what I believe merely because in the final analysis that's what I want to believe? If I say I am a Christian, do I believe in the God revealed in Scripture, or do I participate in a systematic distortion of that God to suit my own desires? Do I believe in the God who is, or do I believe in a god of my own creation?

The question of the existence of and nature of God is a question attended by a host of vested interests. If we are to examine the question with integrity, we must both recognize and face the implications of our vested interests. If we refuse to do that, then truth will perish, and so will we."

Take time to examine this important question. May these resources help you, or those you share them with, in studying the existence of God.
