Why There Is A God

God proved His existence by giving us His Word.  His Word is Jesus Christ (John 1:1).

The skeptic will scoff at this and say, "Where is he? He only exists in your imagination. He is a myth who offers no evidence that he ever existed."

God has given us the evidence that He exists, and that the Bible is His written word. It is literary evidence where the proof lies in the revelation of its cloaked meaning.

Jesus is the Gospel to us. That's how we learn about Him. It's the story of His birth, ministry, betrayal, passion and triumphant resurrection. He lived His life of humble and obedient service to His Father, who sought not His own will but His Father's (Matt 26:39, John 12:27). Those who have wisdom follow Christ's example of obedience (John 13:15, 1 Peter 2:21).

How is this proof?

Papias was a disciple of the apostle John according to the church father Irenaeus. Papias wrote that the earliest Christian expositors of scripture said the creation story in Genesis was an allegorical form of the Gospel. That would make sense since the New Testament says the scriptures are about Christ (John 5:39, Luke 24:44-46). The claim is not that there are a few scattered verses here and there, but that the volume of the book is about Him (Heb 10:7).

Jesus taught in parables, and parables are a form of allegory. He demonstrated how the scriptures are about Him and his church, the kingdom of God.
