If someone asked you, “Why do you believe in God?” what would you say.

October 15, 2025

If someone asked you, “Why do you believe in God?” what would you say. Do you answer scientifically, logically, or emotionally? People believe for a variety of reasons, including seeking comfort and meaning, personal experiences, upbringing and cultural traditions, and philosophical or logical arguments. For some belief in God provides a sense of purpose, hope, and moral understanding. Believing in God for others helps them find a way to cope with life’s difficulties. And for many, it helps with the fear of what happens after we die—where do we go? If you think about this question and answer it—it is one of the most important questions that can be asked and answered. Because this question is about our life, how we live out our life, and eternity—what happens after our death. Romans 10:17 reads, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Isaiah 12:2 tells us, “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvations.” “For faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) It is hard to answer this question, but it is important to answer this question. So, think about it, write down your answer, talk about it, then share your thoughts. Because this question is the most important question you will ever answer. Why do you believe in God. God Bless. Amen.
