jesus on the cross
God is not dead as some people believe. He is very much alive in all of us because He has His Spirit within us. People think that God is dead because there is so much turmoil in the world and think that if He was alive then He wouldn’t allow bad things to happen.

 Remember the verse that says, From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48 NIV

This verse tells each of us that we are given the responsibility to lead others to Christ and to be ambassadors for Him. It is part of our calling to be witnesses for Him. It should be an honor and a privilege to prove to the world that He is not dead. For we have been given so much by having free salvation in Christ and by being saved by Him. We have to spread His Word throughout the world, no matter if it costs us our friends, our family, or anything else such as our job. Look at the student who took the stand to prove that God isn’t dead in the movie with the same title, “God’s Not Dead”

Don’t Deny God


Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Mathew 10: 32-33 NIV

Denial of God

That verses can be a scary statement to read. If you deny Him in front of your friends or family, then He will deny you in front of His father when the time comes for the final judgment. Why deny Him just for some quick fun with your friends or deny Him and claim He is dead because of a class such as the Philosophy class, in the movie “God’s Not Dead.”? If you choose to deny Him, He will not allow you to enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Some people might ask, “How can a God that we can’t see, give us the choice whether or not to believe Him and give us free will while telling us that if we don’t believe in Him, we will be damned into Hell? How can He care about us, if He plans to damn us into Hell for all eternity for not believing in Him?”

His Free Will

He gives everyone free will to choose whether or not to follow Him.  You can tell them that it is up to each person as an individual to make the choice. He talks to you through His Holy Spirit. It is also your choice whether or not to listen.  Choosing to follow God doesn’t ever mean that you have to be pressured into doing so. God doesn’t want you to be pressured into following Him. He wants you to want to follow Him and to get to know Him.
He is Omnipresent

No one can disprove that God exists. Because He exists in everything and He is everywhere. He is on the Earth, water, and the sky. His presence is everywhere on Earth. You just have to know where to look. If you look hard enough and long enough, He will capture your attention in ways that you can’t possibly fathom. One day, He will also capture the attention of everyone in the world.

No one should be talked out of believing in Him just because people might think they shouldn’t believe in something or someone that they can’t see. You have absolutely every right to stand up for your faith. No matter what anybody else thinks about God, it is your job to still be a witness for Him. That can be your calling card in life. It can also be your mission to tell others about God. No matter what anyone thinks about God, you can have your own beliefs.

 

Incapable of Inaccuracies
You can tell others that God is incapable of inaccuracies, mistakes or any wrongdoing. He created the heavens and He created them in His image. If God was dead, then nobody would even be alive, here on Earth today.

Remember if He loved you enough to send His only son to die for you and everyone else in the world, who cares what everyone else thinks about him if you know that you are loved by the king of kings and the Lord of Lords?  For the wrong person you’ll never have any worth but to God and the right person who God places in your life either it is a friend or a boyfriend or a girlfriend or anyone else in your life, you will be everything to them and mean everything to them.

Dismiss What You Don’t Understand
It’s easy to dismiss what you don’t understand or what you don’t want to understand, or if you refuse to understand it. People don’t want to think God is real or alive because they see all the bad things happening in the world. God allows evil to exist because if free will. He tolerates evil on the earth in order to give people free will in order to one day destroy it. Free will is for people to see that He is the freedom that you and everyone needs.
Our struggles are meaningless if God doesn’t exist. Believe in God or don’t believe in God. Some people demand to say that God doesn’t exist. But, no one can really deny that He truly does exist.
