A Need For
Abba Hillel Silver wrote,
“Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.” Abba Hillel Silver.
Man needs God’s moral absolutes in order for society to function correctly. A society without moral absolutes cannot function correctly. A society without moral absolutes is a society without freedom.
That is one of the many reasons I believe in God. I think it’s lunacy to think all men developed the same moral code at the same time globally. Yet people all over the world have common morals.
Irrespective of where a person grows up it is never right to kill, steel, commit adultery and such. These are moral absolutes that all men recognize.
These are absolutes I believe God wrote on the hearts of men from the beginning of time.
The ten commandments say it all. Half tell men how to interact with God. While half tell how man must act with his fellow man. No atheist group has ever come up with a better moral code than is written in the ten commandments.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
Each person in this world must I believe decide for themselves if God is real or not. The way I see it deciding whether God is real or not is the most important decision one can make.
Thus I suggest to anyone who is searching for answers about God to first at least read the New Testament if not the whole Bible.
Take time and even ask God in prayer to show you that He is indeed real.
Please think about it.
