The Bible presents various lines of reasoning and evidence that point toward the existence of God, rather than empirical facts in the scientific sense. These biblical perspectives include the complexity and order of the universe, the moral law within humans, and the fulfillment of prophecy, among others. While these may not constitute proof in the empirical or scientific sense, for believers, they offer compelling reasons to affirm God’s existence.

1. The Complexity and Order of the Universe: Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” The intricacy and vastness of the universe can lead one to conclude that it is the work of a Creator rather than the product of random chance.
2. The Moral Law Within Humans: Romans 2:14-15 discusses how Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do what the law requires and shows that the law is written on their hearts. This internal sense of right and wrong, which is universally experienced, suggests a moral Designer who instilled these principles within humanity.
3. The Fulfillment of Prophecy: The Bible contains prophecies that were later fulfilled, which some see as evidence of a divine authorship that transcends human time constraints. For example, the prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in the Old Testament, including His birth, life, death, and resurrection, are fulfilled in the New Testament.
4. The Existence of Jesus Christ: The historical existence of Jesus and His impact on the world, as well as His resurrection, which is central to the Christian faith, serve as a cornerstone for belief in God. As recorded in 1 Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.”
5. Personal Experience and Changed Lives: While not a proof in the scientific sense, many believers point to personal experiences of God’s presence, answered prayers, and the transformative effect of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ as evidence of His reality.

It’s important to recognize that these points are approached from a perspective of faith. Belief in God, according to the Bible, ultimately involves a leap of faith beyond what can be solely proven or disproven by empirical evidence. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This suggests that while there may be signs and indications of God’s presence in the world, a relationship with God is rooted in trust and belief beyond what can be physically proven.
