YOU MUST BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD

Pastor Ronald Berry

 

Heb 11:6 "for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him"

Jn 14:1 "ye believe in God, believe also in me [Jesus]"

Jn 3:15 "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

1. We must believe there is a God;

2. We must believe God rewards us;

3. We must believe that if we seek Him He can be found;

4. We must believe in Jesus as well as God;

5. We must believe we have eternal life;


WE MUST BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD.

Christians believe that the Eternal God created all things by Jesus the Christ.

Evolutionists believe that the eternal nothing spontaneously evolved into all things.

We all know that nothing produces nothing. If I give you nothing you have nothing , you can't make something out of that nothing. Endless nothingness well endlessly produce nothing. Something or rather someone had to have caused all things to come into existence.

In order for a creation to exists it must have a Creator, and we believe that God is the Creator of all things visible and invisible.

Col 1:16 "For by him [Jesus] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."

God is eternal, He lives forever. There was never a time when God did not exist.

Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

2: The same was in the beginning with God.

3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."

John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

Rev 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."


Today we have the doctrine of evolution, which believes that all things evolved from the simplest to the most complex, however this doesn't answer the questions, where did mankind come from and how did we get here?

There is a basic flaw in this doctrine, and that is where did the matter come from that all things are comprised of? This doctrine requires that we believe in an eternal first cause for our origins, which is exactly what the bible teaches, except the bible gives the name of God as the first cause of all things. Even though evolution teaches that we evolved from a lower life form, it does not reveal where the original matter came from for that lower life form. The closest they come is what they call the big bang theory, which still doesn't explain where the elements necessary to produce such an explosion came from.

So we are left with the choice of an unnamed eternal cause for our existence or the named eternal cause for our existence, GOD!

When you boil the whole thing down one believes a person called God created all things and the other believes that all things just came into existence all by themselves from nothing. So one believes in God, the other believes in nothing.

When was the last time that nothing ever did anything let alone create the universe?

Do you believe that nothing produced the something called by your name - or do you believe that God produced mankind out of the resources of His eternal power?


WHERE DID THE STARTING ELEMENT COME FROM?

Now unless we believe that nothing can produce something we are still left with the question of, where did we come from?

There is only one logical answer that one can come to and that is that God exists in eternity, and created all things including time.

Both doctrines when reduced to their most basic element, rely on the eternal ever existent something, out of which all things have their beginnings.

Acts 17:28 "For in him we live, and move,and have our being"

The spontaneous development of matter does not explain were matter come from?

All things had to have their origins in timelessness or eternity. So all things being considered using evolution or the bible, both conclude the same thing, and that is that eternity was the source of all things.

Evolutionists have failed to produce even one instance where one species evolving into another species let alone where inorganic material evolved into a life form!

We choose to believe there is a God but this is not good enough.

James 2:19 "Thou believeth that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

God's original intent when He created mankind was that they would be like Him. Mankind fell from God's high purpose, due to sin and began to be more like Satan, the author of sin. Sin is the source of sin, there is a deference!

If I was in the image of God I would have the attributes of God, however this is not true of mankind but rather the opposite is true, we more resemble Satan more than God in our thoughts, actions, and deeds.

In truth mankind became born again of Satan! That is why Jesus said "ye must be born again"!

The first Adam was the prototype of God but the prototype was changed by sin and bears no resemblance to the original creation, so God gave us a second prototype and His name is Jesus. He is the exact image of the father!

Jesus said "if you have seen me you have seen the Father".

We have documented proof that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was an actual person and indeed was nailed to a Roman cross. It is evident that we have a basic problem and that is we all will die.

So what solution does the evolutionist offer us? He tells us that we are made of the elements of the earth and we will cease to exist and return back to the elements we are made of, end of story for ever. What does the creationist offer as a solution to the problem of death.

They point to the only man that said He had a way out of death and then proved it by dying and coming back from the dead. Of course we are speaking of Jesus of Nazareth He and He alone is the only one that backed up His claims of eternal life by doing it.

So we conclude that the historical evidence of the Bible is more sure that the theories of men. We put our trust in the things Jesus did to secure for us eternal life and we trust in the Biblical record of were the creation came from!

I pray you will put your trust in the man Jesus to save You!
