Can We Prove God Is Real?

 More on our call to witness God’s truth.

There is no question that being a witness for God is a fragile, not so easy job.  As a matter of fact, Jesus didn’t do the best job either — and Jesus was God.

Witnessing is not easy because we have no proof.  No concrete proof about who, or what, or even where God is.

It is not easy because people have never liked it when you upset their-well-ordered-apple-cart of ideas and beliefs.  They don't like is when you tell them that just maybe, just maybe, what they think they know is not necessarily the truth.

We have a hard enough time listening to someone who tells us we are wrong about something that can actually be proven.  

Let alone putting us on the spot about some invisible being who supposedly became a human being birthed by some un-known teen-age girl; who was impregnated by something called the Holy Spirit.  And supposedly gave birth to this God/child in a dirty manger stall.  Where kings visit guided by a huge star.

To quote The Statler Brothers:  “Who do you think could believe such a thing….."

Now think about this, we live in a very advanced world today.  A world where electricity is wireless.

We talk to people on little devices that are not connected to anything.

We can see news live and in person on these same little devices. 

We can also watch sports events, movies and TV show on the same device.

We can ask about anything, we wonder about; and google (whatever that is) can give us several answers in a matter of a seconds.

And, the only way we know that wire-less works is because we can hold it in our hands and it works.  

But do we understand how it works?

No, not really.

So, then, why can’t we believe in the history of someone who has never been seen, or actually heard, called God?

Who we are told, in the Big Book, lives with us and within us. Lives in every individual, community and home across the world today.

You might ask: If God is real, and if God does what He says He does;  then why not just show himself?

Why doesn’t God just stop all the awfulness in His world?

Why doesn’t this omnipotent omnipresent God prove to us once and for all that its all true?

Why doesn’t God just show us by coming, visibly coming, and end all the mystery by snapping His Holy Finger fixing everything?

Proving everything?

  

Making it all right once and for all?

That would be something worth seeing on the news.

Why?  Why doesn’t he come and do all of that?

Because He did before. 

And still His human children didn’t believe it.

Because it wasn’t their vision of who Messiah ‘should be.’
