These questions of whether there is a Heaven or hell, or a God is in fact quite elementary. In this post I will concentrate on the God question. To really know whether there is a God you have to experience Him first hand. I'll get right to my point.
A few evenings ago I was listening in on a church service at home on the speakerphone(yes we are having meetings)and the guest minister was talking about love. Well, beings love is one of my favorite topics, my ears perked up. At times I even held the receiver to my ear so I could get every word since I am a little hard of hearing, even though I was finishing up with dinner. I listened till the end of the meeting. But somewhere in there, something happened! I hardly felt like I was the same person. But I was very tired and as soon as I shut the phone off at 9:00 pm I went straight to bed, which is very unlike me. In the morning lo and behold that same feeling was still there. It was almost exhuberant, joyful. The anger and frustrations I had were just gone. During that service I didn't ask God to come into my life but I had the door open to receive Him, and He walked through the door. And what was even more dramatic was/is the way I am feeling physically. It's like I am ALMOST healed. I am noticing more and more that things I suffered with before are practically gone. So what really happened? Is it all just a fluke? I would certainly think not. Is there a God? YES!
I thought this through very early in my Christian walk, and came to believe that reason cannot show that God exists. When all the arguments are in, it boils down to faith. We must have faith that God exists in order to believe in Him.
We could ask the question where does such faith come from ? I know the Bible says it comes from the Word... but all do not accept or believe it. As much as I put up debate with Scott on "free will" or the ability of man to believe, I do have questions about this whole process and do not have all the answers.
