I believe in God because this world is an absurdity without God.
I believe in an omnipotent, imaginative creator because this is a world that could only be imagined.
I believe in God because you can’t get something from nothing, and if you could, you could only get something from nothing by imagining it. I believe because there must be an unmoved mover. I believe there must be an omnipotent imaginer.
I believe in God because we are found so far outside the periphery of what is rationally coherent, that God becomes an inevitable, necessary demand on logic. WE are the logical necessity if God exists. If God is love, then we exist. God is love. We exist. We exist because God is love. We exist, therefore a loving God exists.
I believe because godless cultures produce cold societies primed for tyrants, socialism, communism, and all variety of deadly, utopian schemes. I believe in God because existence itself is too much to ask of a godless universe; a godless universe being no universe at all.
I believe because of a Christian kindness that I know of among those of my faith. I believe because of a pre-adolescent goodness that I once knew and still feel deep inside of me; because of all of this, I believe that I was called, chosen, sanctified— before the world began. I believe that.
I believe because I have the holy, inspired scriptures, which are the proofs of revelation.
I believe because God is love, and love is real, and therefore— God is real.
I believe in the validity and soundness of the Teleological argument, the Kalam Cosmological Argument and The Moral Argument. I believe in God because of the Transcendental argument and the Ontological argument. I believe in God because of the resurrection miracle, and the historical fact of the empty tomb. I believe in God because the existence of a supernatural evil is apparent.
I believe because of the gospel message, which confirms itself in my heart as a message that a good God would deliver to mankind. I believe because of received words of wisdom, timely words of knowledge, and sometime prophetic warnings. I believe that where there’s theological smoke, there’s a metaphysical fire.
I believe that when the universe called out for existence, only God could have answered. I believe in God because of the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies: because Israel was reassembled as a nation again in a day, just as the ancient scripture predicted; because the scriptures predicted that Israel would always be surrounded by enemies; because the scriptures predict that Jerusalem would be the most important religious site in the entire world, and it is; I believe because the scriptures predict that the end of the world will begin and end in Israel’s immediate vicinity (and this is extremely likely, even two thousand years later.)
And in the 9th chapter of the book of Daniel, the exact year of Christ’s coming is predicted, hundreds of years before the fact.
I believe in God because this is a world that looks like a world where a God must exist.
I believe because history has time-and-again confirmed the accuracy of the Judeo-Christian prophetic literature, because a grand macrocosmic stage demands a grand macrocosmic actor; because the material universe is contingent on God’s existence, and I believe because of the abundance of evidence— that evidence being faith itself.
I believe that the gospel message speaks to man as he is, according to his true psychological profile. I believe because Christ fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophecies. I believe because I have found that God’s ways are better for me than man’s ways.
And I am a Christian because it seems to me downright stupid to wager my eternal soul with anti-Christian ideologies, against God, against Christ, chancing eternal damnation. A stupid wager if there ever was one.
I believe in God because I desire perfect justice, I desire pure righteousness, and only God’s presence can fulfill that desire in me.
