The Question That Won’t Go Away
For centuries, the most brilliant minds and the simplest souls alike have wrestled with a single, inescapable question: Is there really a God? It’s the question that lingers quietly in the heart after success, in the middle of pain, and in the moments of silence before sleep. Despite humanity's greatest achievements in science, philosophy, and technology, this one question never fades.
If you clicked on this blog out of curiosity, skepticism, frustration, or even the hope of finding a new perspective, you’re not alone. And I don’t aim to shame you into belief or guilt you into faith. Instead, I want to offer something different: a brutally honest look at why many don’t believe in God, what might be missing in their reasoning, and why the very inability to "see" God might be the strongest evidence that He truly exists.
And yes, this blog will tie back to the Christian faith—not because it's just a religion among many, but because it dares to claim something no other belief system does: that the unknowable God made Himself known.
Section 1: Why God Can’t Be Imagined
Let’s start with something uncomfortable: every single thing you’ve ever imagined is borrowed from creation.
If I ask you to imagine a new creature, you'll take wings from a bird, scales from a lizard, and maybe the body of a lion. Nothing you create in your mind is ever truly original. It's just rearranged fragments of what already exists.
So if God is the Creator of all things—time, space, logic, energy, even your imagination—then by definition, He would be beyond all of those things. Which is why no image, no form, no analogy can fully contain Him.
This lines up perfectly with what we see in Scripture: "You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live" (Exodus 33:20).
The problem isn’t that God is hiding. It’s that our minds are too small to wrap around His nature.
Section 2: Pre-Debating the Doubter
Let’s pause and address the elephant in the room: the typical objections.
Objection #1: “If God is real, why doesn’t He just show Himself?”
Simple: if He did, you’d be obliterated. If God is infinite perfection, pure holiness, and the source of all existence, then your finite, fragile body and soul couldn't handle full exposure. That’s not an emotional statement. It’s a metaphysical reality.
It’s like asking to stare directly into the sun without consequence. You can—but it will blind you. Not because the sun is cruel, but because it's too much for your eyes.
Objection #2: “There’s too much evil and suffering. A loving God wouldn’t allow that.”
That argument assumes a perfect world without human freedom would be better. But would love still exist if no one had a choice to do evil? Would kindness mean anything if pain didn’t exist?
A world without the possibility of evil is a world without free will. In giving us freedom, God gave us the dignity to choose—even if that meant choosing wrongly. Suffering exists not because God doesn’t love us, but because love requires freedom, and freedom carries risk.
Objection #3: “Science explains everything. We don’t need God anymore.”
Science explains how things work, not why they exist. It can describe gravity, but not the reason the laws of physics are fine-tuned to support life. It can explain evolution, but not the origin of DNA, consciousness, or the moral compass embedded deep within us.
Even the most prominent scientists agree: the further you go into quantum physics and cosmology, the more reality resembles something designed rather than random.
Section 3: The Name That Changes Everything: “I Am”
When Moses asked God for His name, God didn’t say, “I am the King of Heaven,” or “I am the Creator of the Universe.” He said:
“I Am Who I Am.” (Exodus 3:14)
Let that sink in.
He didn’t define Himself by creation. He didn’t compare Himself to anything you could relate to. He simply stated His being. This isn’t just a name. It’s a declaration of existence itself. God is. Outside of time. Outside of form. Outside of comprehension.
You can deny Him, ignore Him, question Him—but you can’t erase Him. Because everything you are, everything you know, and everything you see is built on the framework of being that came from Him.
Section 4: Outside of Time, Space, and Logic
Time is linear to us. Past, present, future. But if God created time, then He sees the beginning and end at once. This is why the Bible can contain prophecy that is fulfilled generations later.
God doesn’t predict the future. He inhabits it.
And if He exists outside of time, He also exists outside the structures of logic and language. This doesn’t mean God is irrational—it means He’s supra-rational. Higher than logic, not below it.
This is also why no religion or philosophical system that attempts to fully systematize God can succeed. Christianity, uniquely, embraces paradox:
-
A God who is three and one.
-
A Savior who is fully God and fully man.
-
A kingdom that grows through humility and sacrifice.
These paradoxes don’t cancel each other out. They reflect a truth so vast, it bends the categories of the created mind.
Section 5: How Faith Enhances Personal Growth
Let’s step into real life.
If there is no God, then life is a series of accidents. Your personality, your relationships, your aspirations—all just chemical echoes. There is no right or wrong. No purpose. Just preference.
But if God is, then every part of your life can take on divine significance:
-
Struggles become growth.
-
Pain becomes refinement.
-
Dreams become calling.
-
Success becomes stewardship.
Christianity doesn’t just offer salvation after death. It offers transformation in life. You begin to live with eternal perspective. You forgive easier. You build with meaning. You sacrifice with joy.
Faith doesn’t kill reason. It expands it.
Section 6: The God Who Made Himself Known
Here’s the climax. The unknowable God stepped into creation.
Jesus said, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
He claimed to be the visible image of the invisible God. And He backed it up with wisdom, compassion, and the ultimate sacrifice.
He didn’t just teach. He died. Then He didn’t stay dead.
Christianity is not just a belief system. It is God entering history, proving His love not by force, but by surrender. By the cross.
This is not myth. It is the most well-attested event of the ancient world.
Conclusion: Still Don’t Believe?
If you've made it this far, maybe you're still on the fence.
But maybe—just maybe—something in your soul is stirring. Maybe this wasn’t just another blog. Maybe this was the nudge you've been ignoring. The whisper behind the noise.
You don’t need to have all the answers to take the next step.
All you need is enough honesty to admit: If God is real, I want to know Him.
And that’s where everything begins.
Final Thought:
You were made for more than random existence.
You were made to walk with the One who called Himself...
I Am.
