For Those Trying to Prove God Exists

Don’t over complicate things
Too many people waste years trying to analyze God. They try to put Him under a microscope... to prove he exists. It doesn’t work that way. We don’t have the capacity to analyze God, the Creator of the Universe, like a common science project or mathematical problem.
If we could, it would give an unfair advantage to people shrewd enough to complete this deep analysis. Ordinary people could be left out, not enough mental energy or firepower to figure things out like the geniuses. All the dummies might go to Hell.
Does that make sense?
Of course not. Also it would rule out any requirement for faith. You wouldn’t need faith, you would KNOW—but that’s not how it works. The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. It says, if you would approach God it must be on the basis of faith because humans can’t see, analyze or begin to understand the mysteries of God. Faith in His revealed life and word is the key.
It’s not a secret, He has revealed Himself in many ways.
The Bible says the Heavens declare the Glory of God. He is revealed in nature, in His creation. He reveals Himself in His written word…the Bible. He revealed Himself in His Son, who He sent to earth, to live the perfect life, to suffer and die on the cross for our sins and to be raised from the dead.
The only person who has trouble seeing God is someone who is belittling, ignoring or discounting all these things…wanting God to reveal Himself to them on terms they have decided upon. Don’t expect Him to do that. If you turn your back on all He has done to reveal Himself to you for centuries, you would still be stubborn and refuse to believe, even if He showed Himself to you according to your little ideas. He knows this, and if you are honest, you will admit you do too.
Stop trying to prove He exists
He exists. Inside you know it’s true. The issue is that you don’t want to acknowledge it. You aren’t convinced you need to know Him. You think you can make it just fine through life without His help. You want to keep Him at arm’s length and to be left alone.
I advise you to keep doing that because that’s what you are going to do anyway. You do what you want. You have free will. But realize things may change. You may come to a point in the future where you think differently. If that happens, and you realize something is missing, that something is wrong in your life and you want to make it right, then that is the time to put your pride aside and come to the Lord in faith. He loves you and wants to bring you into a permanent eternal relationship with Him and give you spiritual life.
But you have free will.
He will not force you. You must of your own decision come to Him in faith, and when you do, it won’t be because you proved anything or did anything, it will be because you believed in HIM and His saving Grace.
