Why Do You Believe In God?

Do you believe in God? Why? Many of us believe in God by faith. We just know that God is real and we know the word of God is true. We have confirmation of our belief in God because of our experiences with God. There are others who have had to study everything from every angle to finally come to the conclusion that God is real. For some it is the small things, the simple things and for others it is the big things, the deep things. But many times when I hear why people believe, simple or deep, I know that God is amazing in that He knew and knows what it takes for those of us who are going to believe.

Aristotle's Unmoved Mover states "that there was never a time when there was not motion, and never will there be a time when there will not be motion. Motion cannot be self caused, there has to be a mover. And the unmoved mover must be one and eternal". This means if it was more than one mover, it would not be orderly. And because motion is ongoing, the mover must be eternal.

Some people can see a sunset, sunrise or a waterfall and know that God is real. Many look at a baby, and the entire process from conception to birth and know that He is real. Jay Z in his OWN episode of Master Class said he believes there is a God because his eyebrow stops his sweat from running into his eyes. Others believe because they have been delivered from addictions or situations that they know they could not have come through by themselves.

Why do you believe there is a God?
