A Truth

A Truth
Voltaire said
“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe
 can exist without a clock maker.” 
Voltaire
C. S. Lewis said,
“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade,
 the presence of God.” 
C.S. Lewis.
The Psalmist declares,
The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 
Psalm 19:1.
As I look around I see an ordered universe. One so well balanced so coordinated that it allows life as we know it to exist on this planet. I cannot believe this happened by chance.
To my mind it takes far more faith to believe the Universe as we know it simply came together by chance, than it does to believe in a God who created the Universe. As a Christian I believe the Apostle John who wrote,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ” John 1:1-4,14.
I believe God created the heavens and the earth. I believe that, that same God entered His creation in the form of His one and only Son Jesus to point mankind to Himself.
I believe that God has given everyone a freewill to choose whether or not to believe in Him or not. God did not make androids designed to follow his every desire without question.
God created each human being with the ability to think for him or her self. To decide whether or not God even exists. Whether or not Jesus is God’s one and only Son the Saviour of mankind.
Jesus speaking of himself gave all people everywhere a choice when he said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
Please take some time to read the New Testament at the very least and see what the followers of Jesus thought and taught about him.
Please think about it.
