- 1Timothy 1:17, “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
- Psalm 14:1, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
1. HUMAN LIFE IS PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS
Genesis 1:26-27, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
2. CREATION OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IS PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS
Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Ro 1:20-21; Col1:16-18; Ps 19:1-6)
3. THE WORD OF GOD
2Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (2Pe 1:16-21)
4. THE GLOBAL SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL
Over the centuries the gospel message has been ridiculed and rejected. Roman rulers threw first-century Christians to the lions and 20th-century dictators sent believers to prison camps. It is estimated that 70 million Christians have been martyred since the church began and 40 million of those were in the 20th century. Yet today Christianity has more adherents than any religion and numbers are growing in many parts of the world. History shows that when Christianity is persecuted and the Gospel is scorned world evangelism intensifies! (Acts 1:8; 8:1-5)
5. THE TESTIMONY OF THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives. 2Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
6. THE EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION
Hundreds saw Christ in His resurrected body (1Corinthians 15:1-11; 1John 1:1-3) and two disciples saw Him ascend into Heaven. Acts 1:9-11, “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”
7. MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF SALVATION
2Co 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
