IS GOD REAL TO YOU

ISGODREALTO YOU

THE WORD SAYS

• (Jas 219 Thou believest that there is one
  God thou doest well the devils also believe,
  and tremble.)
• ..THE WORD SAYS THERE IS ONE GOD..
• (1st Tim 25 For there is one God, and one
  mediator between God and men, the man Christ
  Jesus)
• THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR THAT IS A MAN
  NAMED JESUS CHRIST

3
DO YOU..OR HAVE YOU EVER.. WONDERED IF GOD IS
REAL

• Most church folk would not admit that they
  would ever have such a thought..
• Bout the only evidence we have that there is a
  God is what we read and hear..
• Is what we read and hear enough to prove to us
  that God is real

4
LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE

• Our Sunday school teachers teach us from our
  childhood that every being of every color and
  race came from one man
• (Gen 126a And God said, Let us make man in our
  image, after our likeness)
• God is more than one being at this creation
  sight.. (The word God is a plural word)
• God 430 Õelohiym el-o-heem God, god,
  judge, GOD, goddess, great, mighty, angels,
  exceeding, God-ward, godly

5
WE READ THAT AFTER GOD MADE ADAM, HE THEN PUT HIM
TO SLEEP TO TAKE A RIB TO MAKE A WOMAN

• (Gen 221 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep
  to fall upon Adam, and he slept and he took one
  of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
  thereof) (Is man missing a rib???)
• (Gen 222 And the rib, which the LORD God had
  taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
  unto the man.)

6
WERE WE CREATED.. OR DID WE EVOLVE

• We are taught in public schools that we evolved
  from little things swimming around in water that
  at some time grew legs and lungs.
• We then crawled out of the water to breathe air.
  
• Some have now evolved into these gorgeous
  intelligent human creatures we see today..
• Hard to say which is more logical to the
  natural mind ...creation or evolution..

7
WE READ THAT MAN BECAME SO EVIL BEFORE THE
TIME OF THE FLOOD THAT IT GRIEVED GOD IN HIS
HEART THAT HE EVEN MADE MAN TO BEGIN WITH
8
(Gen 65 And GOD saw that the wicked-ness of man
was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually.)

• (Gen 66 And it repented the LORD that he had
  made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
  heart.)
• Is it possible that all but eight souls on planet
  earth could have been so evil that God could have
  destroyed all but that eight

9
GOD DESTROYED ALL FLESH THAT HAD THE BREATH OF
LIFE BUT THOSE ON THE ARK

• (Gen 617-18 17And, behold, I, even I, do bring
  a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all
  flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under
  heaven and every thing that is in the earth
  shall die. 18But with thee will I establish my
  covenant and thou shalt come into the ark, thou,
  and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons wives
  with thee.)
• (1ST PET 320b wherein few, that is, eight souls
  were saved by water.)

10
ONE MAN ON ALL THE EARTH WAS JUST AND PERFECT
BEFORE GOD

• (Gen 89b Noah was a just man and perfect in
  his generations, and Noah walked with God.)
• It is important that we have this information.
  We will see these same conditions on earth
  at the end of our age also if Gods Word is true.
  
• (Gen 611 The earth also was corrupt before God,
  and the earth was filled with violence.)

11
GOD TELLS US THAT BY THE END OF OUR AGE, MAN WILL
BE AS EVIL AS THEY WERE IN NOAHS AGE

• (Luke 1726 And as it was in the days of Noe, so
  shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.)
• All we have to do is turn on the news to see how
  evil our age is becoming. We wonder how God can
  put up with man on earth now..
• How much more time will God allow us..

12
GOD TOLD NOAH TO MAKE AN ARK

• (Gen 614 Make thee an ark of gopher wood
  rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch
  it within and without with pitch.)
• (Gen 614b The length of the ark shall be three
  hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
  and the height of it thirty cubits.)
• This was a big-g-g-g boat if this ark was for
  real
• A cubit is 18 x 300 cubits 5400 cubits divided
  by 12 450 long x 75 wide x 45 tall

13
YOUD THINK A BARGE THAT SIZE WOULD LEAVE SOME
SHRED OF EVI-DENCE IT EXISTED SINCE WE KNOW WHERE
IT SETTLED AFTER THE FLOOD.

• (Gen 84 And the ark rested in the seventh
  month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon
  the mountains of Ararat.)
• Man has searched for the ark by land, from the
  air, and from space..
• Man can find no remains or physical evidence of
  any kind that Noahs ark ever existed.

14
PHARAOHS ARMY WAS DROWNED IN THE RED SEA AFTER
HE LET GODS CHILDREN GO OUT OF EGYPT

• (Ex 154-5 4Pharaohs chariots and his host
  hath he cast into the sea his chosen captains
  also are drowned in the Red sea. 5The depths have
  covered them they sank into the bottom as a
  stone.)
• An army of horses, chariots, shields, swords,
  men. and not a single shred of evidence to prove
  this ever happened.. not even a button..

15
NOT ONLY IF GOD IS REAL AND HE DOES NOT SHOW SOME
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THAT HE IS, HE EVEN MAKES IT
MORE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS THAN TO
BELIEVE THAT HE IS NOT

• (Math 714 Because strait is the
  gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
  unto life, and few there be that find it.)
• ...THE BROAD AND WIDE WAY IS EASIER

16
NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE AN INVISIBLE GOD WE CAN
NOT PHYSICALLY SEE, HE HAS GIVEN US INVISIBLE
ENEMIES ALSO

• (1st Tim 117Now unto the King eternal,
  immor-tal, invisible, the only wise God, be
  honour and glory for ever and ever.)
• (Eph 612 For we wrestle not against flesh and
  blood, but against principalities, against
  powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
  this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
  places.

17
LOOK AT THIS PICTURE

• We have this invisible God that we can not see
  that has given us these invisible enemies that we
  can not see and he want us to trust in Him by
  what we read and hearnot by what we see
• It sounds like an unfair proposition just looking
  at the physical facts that cant be seen
  naturally.
• Is this God we serve an unfair God that came up
  with hard to keep laws for us to abide by

18
THE ONLY EVIDENCE WE HAVE THAT GOD IS, IS A
BOOK WRITTEN BY MAN

• In this book we read that God.. some 6,000 yrs.
  ago.. made one man named Adam.
• He then made a woman help meet out of one of
  Adams own ribs
• Adam had only one rule to live by.. and he could
  not handle that 1 ruleif it had been you or me,
  we would have done better.. wouldnt we

19
TO SEE THIS WHOLE PICTURE, WE MUST FIRST SEE THAT
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MAN IN ETERNITY

• ..GODS CREATION WAS VERY GOOD..
• (Gen 131 And God saw every thing that he had
  made, and, behold, it was very good. And the
  evening and the morning were the sixth day)
• God gave Adam one rule for Adam only..
• (Gen 216a But of the tree of the knowledge of
  good and evil, thou Adam shalt not eat of it)

20
ADAM COULD NOT KEEP THE ONE LAW GOD GAVE HIM TO
KEEP.

• BY ONE MANS SIN, DEATH CAME TO ALL
• (Rom 512 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
  into the world, and death by sin and so death
  passed upon all men, for that all have sinned)
• Because the first man of our age.. whose name was
  Adam.. disobeyed God, Adams sin is passed to
  everyone born after him.

21
BECAUSE ADAM FELL, WE ALL ARE BORN INTO
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS..

• (Is 646 But we are all as an unclean thing, and
  all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and
  we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities,
  like the wind, have taken us away.)
• God gives us all of this information that we can
  understand why all of us are born into sin..
• We all are conceived in sin because the original
  father of all mankind in our age disobeyed God by
  breaking the one law God gave him to keep.

22

• WHY WOULD GOD NOT ALLOW MAN A FEW ARTIFACTS AS
  PHYSICAL PROOF TO MAN THAT BIBLICAL EVENTS WERE
  REAL.
• A FEW LOGS OF GOPHER WOOD FROM MT. ARARAT..
• A CHARIOT WHEEL OR TWO OF PHARAOHS ARMY FROM THE
  RED SEA.
• ONE OF THE TABLES OF STONE ON WHICH MOSES WROTE
  THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.
• A WING OFF THE ARK OF THE COVENENT.

23
IT WOULD BE NOTHING FOR GOD TO ALLOW ONE OF
THESE ARTIFACTS TO APPEARRATHERTHAN MAKE
ALLOF THEM DISAPPEAR
24
SO, IS THERE A REASON GOD DOES NOT ALLOW A SINGLE
SHRED OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AS PROOFOF THE TRUTH
OF HIS WORD

• ..GODS KINGDOM IS ALL ABOUT FAITH..
• ..FAITH COMES BY GODS WORD..
• (Rom 1017 So then faith cometh by hearing, and
  hearing by the word of God.)

25
THE WORD OF GOD IS GODS SON

• (Jn 11In the beginning was the Word, and the
  Word was with God, and the Word was God.)
• GODS WORD CREATED EVERYTHING
• (Jn 13All things were made by him and without
  him was not any thing made that was made.)
• GOD SENT HIS WORD THAT BY FAITH WE MIGHT HAVE
  ETERNAL LIFE BY BELIEVING WHAT HIS WORD
  SAYS..

26
(John 316 For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
be-lieveth in him should not perish, but have
ever-lasting life.)..

• God has made the way that every soul may CHOOSE
  to have eternal life in His kingdom.
• This life is all about believing Gods Word..
• BELIEVING GODS WORD IS FAITH
• Gods physical evidence that He IS is His
  writ-ten Word and that is all the proof we need.
  

27
(Hebrews 111 Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.)

• THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR IS
  FAITH......... THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN
  IS FAITH
• FAITH IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD IN
  ACTION.
• IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD WITH-OUT
  FAITH..

28
GOD CHOOSES WORDS TO USE IN HIS WORD TO PAINT
PICTURES THAT WE CAN SEE ALL THE EVIDENCE TO
PROVE THAT HE IS

• He paints pictures of the creation of Adam Eve
• He paints pictures of Noah and the flood
• He paints pictures of the lives of all His
  prophets
• He paints pictures of His Son coming to earth
• He paints pictures of Jesus dieing on the cross
• He paints pictures of Jesus resurrection.

29
IT IS UP TO EACH OF US TO SEARCH OUT OUR OWN
PICTURES TO BUILD OUR OWN FAITH BY GODS WORD..

• (Hebrews 116 But without faith it is impossible
  to please him for he that cometh to God must
  believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
  them that diligently seek him.)
• God has made a way for us with all kinds of
  obstacles to overcome that get in our way...

30
MANY CHURCH FOLK HAVE MADE THE WAY BROAD AND
WIDE TODAY

• MANY HAVE CHANGED GODS WORDS TO WORDS OF THEIR
  OWN UNDERSTANDING..
• BUT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD... THE
  TRUTH IN THE WORD DOES NOT CHANGE AND NEITHER
  DOES GOD.
• (Math 714 Because strait is the gate, and
  narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and
  few there be that find it.)

31
THIS WALK IN LIFE IS ALL ABOUT FAITH IN
..GOD..

• CHOOSE YE THIS DAY WHOM
  YOU WILL
  SERVE
