Many people wonder about the existence of God, especially in times of doubt or difficulty. The search for an answer involves both the mind and the heart, because our relationship with God is not only about what we can see and touch, but also about what we feel and experience in our lives.

First, we can consider the testimony of creation. In the Bible, Romans 1:20 reminds us: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.” When we observe the complexity and beauty of nature—the cycle of life, the galaxies in the universe, the balance of ecosystems—we realize that there is an order and purpose that indicate a higher intelligence. For many, the very grandeur of the universe is a sign of the existence of a Creator, because it is difficult to conceive that all this order arose by chance.

In addition, there is the inner witness, what we call spiritual experience. At many times in life, people feel a presence, peace, or comfort that they cannot explain. In the Christian faith, we believe that this is the action of the Holy Spirit, who works in our hearts to reveal the reality of God. In John 14:26, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would be with us to teach and remember all His words. When someone experiences this spiritual touch, they come to know God in a personal and profound way.

The story and resurrection of Jesus Christ also provide a concrete basis for faith. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were recorded by eyewitnesses, and the events described profoundly transformed those who witnessed them. The apostles were willing to give their lives for this truth, and millions throughout the centuries have been impacted by this testimony. If Jesus really was resurrected, this is powerful evidence that God is real, for only a divine power could conquer death.

For many, the search for God is a process that takes time, patience, and sincerity. It can start with a desire to know more, a simple prayer, or even a question. The Bible encourages us not to fear these questions, because God knows our hearts and the questions we carry. He does not condemn us for them, but rather invites us to approach Him with honesty.

Creation, the inner witness, the life of Jesus, and the personal experience of faith are not just theoretical concepts; they become real in the lives of many people who experience God’s presence in moments of pain, joy, forgiveness, and renewal. God reveals Himself uniquely to each person, and He wants to reveal Himself to you too. In James 4:8, we are reminded, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” This is a promise that God makes and fulfills in our lives.

I encourage you to seek this closeness sincerely. Try to set aside a few moments to reflect, to pray, to read a little of the Bible – even if it is just a small passage. Ask God to reveal His presence clearly. Often, He answers us through the peace we feel, guidance in a difficult decision, or renewed meaning in our lives.

In addition, surrounding yourself with people who share this faith can also help. Often, hearing the testimonies of others, knowing how they have experienced God’s presence, can help us strengthen our own walk. The Christian community is a source of support, love and learning, where we can share our doubts and be strengthened in faith.

It is important to remember that faith is also a step beyond reason. Hebrews 11:1 teaches us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” At some point, we are all called to take this step, trusting that God is real and that He reveals Himself to those who sincerely seek Him.

God’s existence is perceived by creation, experienced in the heart, confirmed by the story of Jesus, and lived by faith. Together, these aspects form a foundation that is not “proof” in the scientific sense, but is deeply concrete in the spiritual and personal sense. The Bible encourages us to seek God and, as Jeremiah 29:13 promises us, “You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” In short, finding God is an experience that is built on faith, sincere seeking, and openness to hearing His voice. He has given us signs around us and within us. Life with God is an ongoing journey, full of discoveries and moments in which we feel His presence in a unique and true way. If you open your heart and seek sincerely, He promises that you will be found. This is the truth that millions of Christians throughout the centuries have experienced and witnessed.
