PROOF FROM CONSCIENCE
Man is born with a universal belief in a Supreme Being; no tribe has been discovered that lacks this. They know that some Being creates and controls.
Rom. 2:15, “Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another.” The existence of God is written in the human conscience.
Acts 17:23, “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the Unknown God.” Conscience told them that there was a God though they did not know Him personally.
Some atheist may claim that their conscience does not tell them about God. It is doubtful if the genuine atheist can be found for at best they are men who have stilled conscience by blatant unbelief.
Some men are so blind that they may deny the existence of the sun in the sky but that does not alter the fact that the sun exists, rises and sets each day.
None are so blind as those who refuse to see. The honest man will find that the inner still small voice says that God exists and is alive today.
Men deny the existence of God not because they cannot find Him but because they are afraid to face the responsibility of being accountable to Him after death.
Atheism is one of the devil’s tools to put man to sleep without accepting salvation. If there is no God then I am not responsible to anyone and I can live and die as I please.
But in quieter moments of reflection the conscience of every man whispers, “There is a God” and only fools deny it.
To look up and see a plane and not see the pilot and say that plane is pilotless is as ridiculous as looking into heavens and saying that there is no God simply because we cannot see Him.
Few of us have ever seen our brains, yet we believe that we possess them because of a centralized control system in the body. Because we see creation, we believe in God.
