Why Do You Believe in God?


This post is really looking for answers from believers. If you are a believer, please comment with your reasons for believing in God. Did you have an experience which proved God’s existence to you? Or is it just something you “know”? Have you always believed in God? I will be extremely grateful for all answers given. Also if anyone can pass this on to other believers I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone!

  1. I always believed in God after I was taught about him as a very young boy by my grandmother. I have doubted but God has always shown me His reality thousands of times over my 49 year old life. I see God in everything that was so incredibly made and in people. There is no way these things could be created withouth at least a Designer. Also I personally have had Him communicate to my heart and mind and spirit over the years daily. After receiving Christ as my Savior this was most pronounced. When I read His Word the Bible there is instant illumination and understanding of its pages that I never experienced before turning to Christ. I have seen Him deliver and heal others over and over again in response to prayer in all kinds of situations. Although evil is a current reality I see and know that He controls its effects and is restoring and irradicating it and in the future as He promised it will be completely gone. And the results of the current evils will be repaid, redeemed and reversed.

    I have seen Him deliver me and others in situations over and over again where there was absolutely no human way it could be done.One or two times you could attribute it to chance. Not over and over again consistently and with many many others doing the same for them.

    1. Thanks very much for sharing that :)

      Is there any chance you give give an example (or more than one) of things he has done where there was "absolutely no human way" it could be done? I'm really intrigued by that... :)

      Thanks again,

  2. Dear Sarah Johnson ; It was a Bright Sunday morning in the Winters of 2007 when I was hurrying my way to the nearest ATM to fetch out my PF accumulations to donate it to a Spiritual Organisation I had pledged to. The sum required was 25K and i was fully aware that the accumulations getting disbursed is not a penny more than 15K.
    I inserted the card chucked in the pin and requested for a MINI STATEMENT.
    Anxiously waiting to see the amount and my eyes must have misread it " Available balance 29500" EPF disbursal... Mistake - reinsert - result - again 29500... I was flabbergasted , sat on the floor of the ATM, banged my head on the door and started the debate of human reasoning... HUMAN ERROR ..Finally , I took out every penny and submitted it to the waiting officials at home. I submitted more than what I had promised for. I still remember how earnestly I used to pray to that somebody unknowingly to save my self respect in front of strangers.............................

    While driving and returning from office everyday I used to see a huge group of road dwellers / beggars which comprised mostly of orphan kids aged between 5 to 15 yrs. One day I brought my lingering thoughts to a conclusion when I parked my car around the place and went to them (It was late evening around 8 pm). Before I could speak a word the kids ran towards and exclaimed in unison with extreme glee- " Hey you came you came.. why r u so late" and gathered around me holding my hand.
    I was surprised and said " WHAT!! you knew I was coming ??" How? Why ?

    One little girl came forward, held my hand and summoned me to bend towards her and said " HE ALWAYS SENDS SOMEBODY TO FEED US EVERY NIGHT "

    I said " HE"?? .. "WHO??"

    She pointed her finger upwards towards the sky and said " HE"

    I was FIXED for a moment and then immediately I ushered away the thoughts remembering I need to reach home early for a late night show.

    I went to a nearby hotel, pulled out whatever came to my fingers from the wallet and gave it to waiter and said "PACK-UP WHATEVER EATABLES YOU HAVE FOR........" .. The waiter completed my sentence " FOR THOSE ORPHAN KIDS RIGHT?? I KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE TO EAT"

    I asked almost dreamily " How did you know it was for them ?"
    Waiter- " SOMEBODY COMES EVERYDAY AT THIS TIME TO BUY FOOD FOR THEM" and he hurried away inside....

    I don't remember my walk back to the kids , when they took the food from me and started eating with utmost satisfaction looking UP in between...

    After 10 mins as I got up to leave I put up a statement to the kids " All this is nonsense , nobody feeds u up everyday, you just make it up"

    The little girl who was sitting on the floor said from a distance staring in my eyes " BABU .. YOU JUST DID"

    I don't remember for how long I kept on sitting there with my head in my hands and gallons of tears falling....... let alone the movie, I forgot myself...................

    I still remember her staring eyes and never gathering the courage to go back there... ,

    Sarah Johnson The above instances of my life are not meant to make you believe in something but only to inform you about what you should know about everything there is to know before you determine conclusions....................................................................
