Does God exist? The simple answer is YES. But, who is He and how do we find Him? Please take a moment and read what follows. It may change your life.
Approximately, two thousand years ago Jesus said:
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
(John 14:1-6)
Since Jesus spoke these words, millions of men and women have come to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior, but who is He and why should we believe in Him?
My own testimony may help you decide.
The story begins twenty-five years ago when a young atheist lawyer with his wife and two-year-old daughter decided to attend a small church in Van Nuys, California. He decided to go to church not because he wanted to find God but rather because he knew something was missing in his life, and he felt he might find an answer – at least a partial answer – at the church.
He was fortunate. A young pastor by the name of Jack Hayford was preaching. Pastor Hayford seemed to know what he was talking about, and most importantly, he seemed to have a deep and abiding faith. The lawyer decided that there must be something of substance to what was being preached. He came back the next Sunday, and the next, and the next. As he listened, he became more and more convinced of the existence of God and that Christ had died for his sins. Finally, one Sunday, he looked the preacher in the eye and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. The lawyer received salvation and another story began – the need, the gift, of growing in the Lord.
Look back on it now from the prospective of twenty-five years later, it all seems to be a miracle of God’s grace. I was so full of myself. As a lawyer, a thinker and a doer, I had little time for anyone else.
As time progressed, I was given the opportunity to teach other men and women what I had learned from the Bible and the teachings of Jack Hayford. Today I am an adjunct professor of Christian Disciplines and a trustee with The King’s College and Seminary. I am also a man who has been blessed with a wonderful wife, daughter, son-in-law, friends, and importantly for our purposes here, a great pastor and teacher – Jack Hayford. I attribute a great deal of the blessing I have received from the sound biblical teachings of Pastor Hayford.
God exists and the way to Him is through our Lord Jesus Christ. Accepting Christ as your Savior will change your life by giving it renewed meaning and purpose, and eternal salvation. Through the centuries, millions of men and women have come to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and His influence has permeated all of society. The conclusion is inescapable—each of us need to closely examine who Jesus is and accept Him as our personal Savior.
