“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8
How can you prove someone is alive if you can’t see them?
Children make up imaginary friends; so why can’t adults? Could God just be a delusional fantasy to explain away questions we can’t truly answer?
My wife and I enjoy watching “who-done-it” detective shows. The good ones keep you engaged by throwing out small clues throughout the film. After the culprit is caught, you look back at all the loose ends which led to their capture. You never see the act being committed, but all the clues eventually point to the person.
In the beginning for many, discovering God uses the same “who-done-it” approach.
We have a vast material universe. Matter dies. According to science, what dies also must have a beginning. How did the universe begin? What caused it to appear? Who done it?
In studying how the universe operates, science acknowledges the fine tuning of all its functions. How gravity, light, oxygen, movement, placement, and a long list of specific laws keep the universe operating so well-tuned. For example, the planet earth is so specifically tuned to allow life to exist. What are the probable stats that all this fine turning is the result of chance? Who done it?
When you study the DNA code in the human body. A specific language which programs the body to function as it does. For such a program to exist requires a programmer. Language code doesn’t just appear so finely tuned. It requires a coder. Who done it?
How does the human heart determine what is right from wrong? How is it people from different continents who never met have similar standards of human interaction? Where does objective moral truth come from? Who wrote the moral code for humanity? Who done it?
Death is undeniable. People are born into this world and people die. But when someone is brutally killed, buried for three days, and arises from a grave, how does someone explain it? The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical documented fact. As strong, if not stronger, than any other known historical fact. So, who done it?
You can deny the facts. Or you can collect the evidence and look for the one who done it.
As you seek HIM, you will find HIM. The Bible reassures us. As we draw closer to HIM, HE draws closer to us. He is closer to you than you realize!
The evidence points to HIM. Now is your turn to make the move toward HIM!
Rooting For You in Christ!
