1.0 The Statement

To study the Doctrines (Teaching) of the Bible, we ought to begin with God, as we are constantly challenged by Atheists, Sceptics, to prove that there is God; as it is difficult for natural man to believe in God, whom he cannot see, touch or feel – 1Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

1- God Declaration

God does not prove His Existence; but He declared His Existence – Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.” Also, the Writers of the Bible do not attempt to prove this fact. The Bible states that it is the Fool who denies God’s Existence – Psalm 14:1 “The Fool has said in his heart, there is no God.” Any Person, with intelligence would acknowledge the evident fact of the Living God, in Creation, and in the Conscience in every Person.

2 – Proof from Scripture

The evidence is shown in the Beauty and Glory of Heaven – Psalm 19:1 “The Heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament shows His handy work.” Furthermore, Romans 1:20 goes further and reveals that Creation even teaches about the Eternal Power of the Godhead: “For the invisible things of Him from the Creation of the World are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal Power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

3 – Proof from Conscience

Every Person on the face of the earth is born with a conscience:

• Romans 2:15 “Which shows the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.”
• Acts 17:23 “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, ‘To the Unknown God.’”

4 – An Atherist’s Outlook

However, some, not all, Atheists claimed that their conscience does not tell them about God; it is doubtful, that there is a genuine Atheist, as every Individual has a conscience; but the Atheist chooses to deny Him (God). The honest Individual still finds that the inner still small voice says that God Exists and is Alive, today.

An Individual denies God’s Existence not because he cannot find Him {God} but because he is afraid to face the responsibility of being accountable to Him (God). Atheism is one of the tools to put that Individual “to spiritual sleep,” without accepting and receiving God’s Provision of Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, an Atheist may have this concept that because there is no God, he is not responsible to anyone, and he can live/die as he pleases.   

5 – Cosmological Proof

The Heavenly Bodies (Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, etc) must be created by Someone, for these Heavenly Bodies (Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, etc) cannot just exist, by themselves: 

• Psalm 19:1 “The Heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament shows His handy work.”
• Romans 1:20“For the invisible things of Him from the Creation of the World are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal Power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

6 – Teleological Proof

The presentation from Design, provides proof of the Creator; for example, a Watch, could not exist but it has a Designer. It was planned for a specific purpose – to tell time. An examination of the world and the things in the world, large or small, shows that each is designed by an intelligent Person for a specific purpose in life. The colours of the bird and means of defence of the animals are not accident; they are the result of the Plan of God the Creator.

7 – Anthropological Proof

Every Individual has an intellectual and moral nature showing forth that God, the Creator cannot be an inanimate force but the Living, Intelligent Being:

• Genesis 1:26 “Let us make man in our Image, after our Likeness.”
• Genesis 1:27, God created man in the Image and Likeness of God, that is, patterned after Him.
• Psalm 94:9 “He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?” God has given to every Individual ear, eyes, knowledge, intelligence, and will, and power, for these are the things that He {God} possesses.”

8 – Life Proof

Life comes from life and the original life must have come from the God that possesses Eternal Life, that is, life that existed before physical life was created. Where do our lives come from? It can only be found in God, who possesses Eternal Life – Psalm 36:9 “For with Thee is the Fountain (Source) of Life.” Jesus said in John 11:25, “I am….life,” also, in John 14:6, “I am ….life,” and in John 10:28, “And I give unto them Eternal Life.” All life proceeds from God. The theory of spontaneous generation has been proven false and completely unacceptable to authoritative Science. Life must have a beginning. The only logical answer is that beginning was with God. 

9 – Congruity Proof

Atheism does not provide solution but creates multiples unsolved problems. The acceptance of the existence of God as Creator of the World and Man & Woman (Adam & Eve), as revealed in Scripture (Genesis chapters 1 & 2), affirmed Revelation, Knowledge and Science; and that He (God, the Father) has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to lay down His (Christ’s) Life, as God’s Lamb (John 1:29, 36), in His Sacrificial Atoning Death, Burial and Resurrection (1Corinthians 15:1-4), for the Human Race. This irrefutable Doctrine (Teaching) enables the Christians to hold onto, even in the face of death.

1.1 Conclusion

Atheism, may lead to hopelessness and despair in the end; whereas, Faith in God and His (God’s) Existence (Genesis 1:1), leads the sincere Seeker into the path of fuller Revelation of God Himself and the Revelation of Jesus Christ’s Sacrificial-Atoning Death on the Cross (the Gospel – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), His (Christ’s) Burial and Resurrection (1Corinthians 15:1-4), and the path to Eternal Life – Hebrews 11:6, “He that comes to God must believe that He is (exists).” Thus, let us come, as children, in simple faith, based on the Revelation of God, and the Sacrificial-Atoning Death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, His Burial and His Resurrection (1Corinthians 15:1-4); receiving Him (Jesus) as our Lord and Saviour, for the forgiveness of our sins and the Redemption with Eternal Life:

• Ephesians 1:7 “In Him (Jesus) we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His {God’s} Grace.”
• Colossians 1:14 “In whom we have redemption through His {Jesus’} Blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
