"IF GOD EXIST, WHAT WOULD BE THE DESCRIPTION OR IDEA OF GOD?"

The Scriptures give us the revelation of the eternal Godhead, who has revealed Himself as one God, existing in three Persons, even the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible in essence; co-eternal, co-existent, co-equal in nature, attributes, power and glory. There is but one eternal Godhead, who is one undivided and indivisible essence; and in this one essence there are three eternal distinctions, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible does not attempt to prove the existence of God; it simply declares it. The writers of Scripture accepted His existence as a settled fact. The opening line of the Bible simply reads: “In the beginning GOD…..” Genesis 1:1.

Belief in the existence of God is absolutely foundational not only to an understanding of the Bible but also to life itself. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that he that comes to God must believe that He is, that He exists and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. In other wards, belief in the existence of God is a prerequisite to having faith in Him personally. If a person rejects the fact of the existence of God he has no reference point for correctly understanding himself or the world around him.

Nothing can be received or known of God unless one believes in His existence. Faith is the only connecting link between the creator and the creature, God and man. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. It is the proof of the reality of things not seen. God as a Spirit being is invisible to the human eye, but it is through faith in Him that His existence is substantiated to us.

In that God has given visible proofs of His existence, there is no excuse for not believing in His existence. Paul wrote, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse”. Romans 1:20. David wrote, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.” Psalm 53:1.
