Is Faith a Result of Desiring God's Existence Amidst Uncertainty?

The concept of God's existence is often seen as a universally accepted truth, as articulated by the Declaration of Independence, which states 'it is self-evident, that all men are created equal.'

Similarly, the Apostle Paul writes in the Bible: 'For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.'

These verses suggest that the existence of God is intuitive and clear to those who are not preoccupied with evil thoughts. As the Bible states in Psalm 53:1, 'The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”’ This implies that acknowledging God's existence is a matter of faith rather than empirical proof.

Science also acknowledges this dilemma, particularly in the realm of abiogenesis. The origin of life without divine intervention remains a mystery. The coded information in DNA suggests an intelligent and sentient origin, just as the DNA structure does.

Witness Accounts and Personal Testimonies

Indeed, the authenticity of a matter can often be determined by witness accounts. In a legal setting, these accounts are crucial in establishing the truth. Similarly, numerous people have reported encountering God, which cannot be dismissed as mere wishful thinking.

I myself have had an encounter with Jesus that reaffirmed the validity of these experiences. During my life-changing moment, my soul left my body and I found myself on the ceiling, observing my body. Curiosity overcame fear as I observed this mystical experience.

Slowly, my soul was pulled back into my body by an angel. I then found myself traversing a tunnel of light, arriving at what seemed like a glowing parade ground filled with angels and souls of humans, who were singing in the distance. In the presence of a giant man identified as Jesus, I experienced a deep connection through telepathic communication. While Jesus expressed disappointment in my actions, He encouraged me to return to my earthly life, and I was immediately back in my body.

The emotional and spiritual impact of this encounter was profound, and it left me with a newfound understanding of faith and the potential for divine intervention in human existence.

Conclusion

While faith is often described as a leap in the dark, it is grounded in experiences and witness accounts. The existence of God, while not empirically proven, is a matter of faith for many people, backed by personal and collective testimonies. Whether one believes in God or not, the experiences shared here illustrate the profound impact such encounters can have on one's faith and perspective on life.
