Can You Know God Exists through Personally Experiencing Him?
This isn’t really an argument for God’s existence. Rather it’s the claim that you can know that God exists wholly apart from arguments, simply by personally experiencing Him. This was the way the people in the Bible knew God. As Professor John Hick has said, for them God was not an idea adopted by the…
Read MoreThe Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus as Evidence for the Existence of God
Jesus of Nazareth was a remarkable individual by all accounts, John. New Testament historians have reached something of a consensus that the historical Jesus came on the scene with an unprecedented sense of divine authority, the authority to stand and speak in God’s place. He claimed that in Himself the kingdom of God had broken…
Read MoreHow Do Objective Moral Values Argue for the Existence of God?
If God does not exist, then it’s very difficult to find any objective standard of right and wrong, good and evil. In atheism, moral values are just byproducts of biological evolution and social conditioning. Michael Ruse, who is an atheistic philosopher of science from Canada, has said that morality is a biological adaptation; ethics is…
Read MoreThe One Who is Faithful
The faithfulness of God is one of my favorite topics. Part of my fascination, I suppose, is the many ways I have seen His faithfulness played out in my own life. So very many times I have been in a difficult situation—sometimes through my own actions, sometimes through the actions of others. Regardless, when I…
Read MoreThe Gospel of Luke: Encountering Jesus This Easter
One of the things I love about the Gospel of Luke is how he presents Jesus in such a personal way. He includes a number of details and stories not found in the other Gospels that give us a glimpse of how Jesus personally sought after those around Him. As the only one to recount…
Read MoreWho is Jesus Christ according to Matthew?
Who is Jesus Christ? The entire Bible is centered around Him, and the four gospel accounts – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – describe Him in detail as they chronicle His life and teachings during His time on earth. While each gospel describes Him accurately, they each point out different aspects of His teaching, character,…
Read MoreBelieve That I Am
The Gospel is the Holy Spirit’s presentation of the person and work of Jesus Christ to humanity. The advent of Christ ushered in the long-awaited Promised One. Although Israel had cried out for many years for the Messiah, they did not recognize His arrival. One of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture is…
Read MoreJesus: The Servant of God
Each of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) focuses on Jesus from a slightly different perspective. They include or exclude details about His life as they paint their own particular picture of who Jesus is. It has been suggested by many scholars that the picture painted by Mark is of Jesus as the…
Read MoreWhat if God Did Not Exist?
Ed. Note: This article is excerpted and slightly modified from our television series, “Does God Exist?” Dr. John Ankerberg: Dr. Craig, what difference does it make if God exists or not? Why does it matter? Many people say that it really doesn’t matter to them if God exists or not. And you say the most…
Read MoreThe Aseity of God – Part 2: Making it Personal
In Part 1, I gave a definition of aseity. Essentially, it means that God simply, and eternally, is. J.I. Packer puts it this way, “Our Maker exists in an eternal, self-sustaining, necessary way—necessary, that is, in the sense that he does not have it in him to go out of existence.”[1] Our first takeaway from…
