A Question Everyone Asks
At some point, most people wonder: Is God real? This question crosses age, background, and belief. Whether during hard times, a beautiful moment in nature, or quiet prayer, the idea of God touches hearts around the world.
The Bible says in Romans 1:20,
“For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made...”
This means God shows Himself through creation. Many believe the beauty of the sky, mountains, oceans, and even a newborn baby is proof that God exists.
Why Some People Believe in God
People who believe in God often point to personal experiences, miracles, and answered prayers. They may feel God’s presence in worship, during hard times, or when reading the Bible.
Here are a few reasons believers give:
| Reason | Description |
|---|---|
| Creation | The world is so detailed and complex, many believe it must have a Creator. |
| The Bible | Believers see it as God's Word, full of truth, wisdom, and prophecy. |
| Changed Lives | Many people say faith in God transformed their lives from pain to peace. |
| Miracles | Some report healing, protection, or signs they can't explain. |
| Moral Design | The sense of right and wrong feels like it comes from more than just people. |
Why Some People Don’t Believe
Others are not sure if God is real. Some may have never learned about Him. Others may have experienced pain and wondered why a loving God would allow it.
Here are a few common doubts:
| Doubt | Description |
|---|---|
| Suffering | “If God is real, why is there pain and evil in the world?” |
| Science | Some trust science more than faith and think God can’t be proven. |
| Silence | They may pray but feel like they don’t hear or see God. |
| Religion’s Failures | Bad actions by religious people can push others away. |
What the Bible Says About God’s Reality
The Bible teaches that God is not only real, but also near. He created everything, loves us deeply, and wants a relationship with us.
- Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
- Hebrews 11:6 – “Anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
- Psalm 19:1 – “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
The Bible doesn’t try to “prove” God exists—it simply starts with Him.
Real-Life Stories of Belief
Here are examples of how people come to believe:
- A man in prison found a Bible, read it, and gave his life to God. He said he felt real peace for the first time.
- A woman battling cancer said she saw God’s hand in every part of her healing, even when the doctors were unsure.
- A child lost in the woods was found safe after his family prayed. They believe God protected him.
These stories may not be “proof” to everyone, but they are powerful to those who lived them.
Can You Know God?
The Bible says yes. Jeremiah 29:13 says,
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
God promises to show Himself to those who truly look for Him. Believing starts with asking, being honest, and staying open. Many people pray something simple like:
“God, if You are real, please show me.”
Is God Real? You Decide.
In the end, no one can force belief. It’s personal. For some, faith comes easy. For others, it takes time and questions. What matters most is seeking the truth with an open heart.
Matthew 7:7 says,
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
