What if there were no God?
Genesis 1.1
“In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.”
Note: The Bible never doubts the existence of God!
2 Timothy 3.16-17
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God
may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
Isaiah 55.9
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your
thoughts.”
What if there were no God?
Which do you see?
GODISNOWHEREGod is Nowhere!
God is Now Here!
But what if…
“If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him.”
(Voltaire)
But what if…
“If there was no God, there would be no atheists.”
(G. K. Chesterson)
If there is no God…
• There would be no morals.– Everyone would do what they feel is
right? (Judges 17.6; 21.25)– No standard = no guide?
If there is no God…
• There would be no trust.– Without a standard, there is no
faithfulness? – No faithfulness = no trust?
If there is no God…
• There would be no creation.• There would be no people.• There would be no salvation.– Without a standard, there is no
faithfulness? – No faithfulness = no trust?
What if there were no God?
BUT THERE IS!
…but there is!
“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.”
(Hebrews 3:4)
Evidence is seen!
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”
(Psalm 19.1)
Remember – Romans 1:19-25
How do you live?
Are we living on Monday like there is no God?
What about Saturday?
How do you live?
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still
waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's
sake.
What if there were no God?
BUT THERE IS!
