TITLE: I Believe In God
I. Natural Revelation
I believe in God because it (makes sense)!
ROMANS 1:19-20
-God’s (fingerprints) are all over creation! Creation (proclaims) His existence!
A Creator’s Clue: Dr. Walter Bradley – “If there isn’t a natural explanation oand there doesn’t seem to be a potential of finding one, then I believe it’s appropriate to look at a supernatural explanation. I think it’s the most reasonable inference based on the evidence… I think that people who believe that life emerged naturalistically need to have a great deal more faith than people who reasonably infer that there’s an Intelligent Designer.”
II. Biblical Revelation
I believe in God because He has (revealed Himself) to us through (His Word)!
14 Attributes of God:
Holy Eternal Immutable
Sovereign Omniscient Omnipotent
Omnipresent Independent Gracious
Wise Just Merciful
Faithful Love
God reveals himself to you because He (desires to know you)! (John 10:14)
III. Personal Experience
I believe in God because my own (experiences with Him) confirm Him.
WARNING: Always filter your personal experiences through Scripture!
Pillars of Personal Experience:
1.) ANSWERED PRAYER
2.) GOD’S FAITHFULNESS TO HIS PROMISES AND THE POWER OF HIS WORD
3.) SPIRITUAL CONVICTION
4.) TRANSFORMED LIFE BEGINNING AT THE HEART-LEVEL
