The Real Existence of God

Mankind is filled with many beliefs
they would be sincere there's no doubt
but sincerity alone won't be enough
so life's so complex what's it all about?

One feels for that pagan so honest
but makes up a god all of their own
can such a god do anything for them?
where's the evidence? can it be shown?

Of course there on the other side
one who rejects God's evidence
despite the authority of God's word
in his own ability is his confidence

God is very big having real authority
He sent his son to buy real salvation
mankind needs to believe God's message
listen well to AW Tozer's quotation

The real existence of God
is in the heart of all His own
His love is full beyond measure
being truly their chief cornerstone

(Quote:
"I sympathize with the mood of the poet Wordsworth when he wrote to the effect that he would rather be a sincere pagan who believed in a god that did not exist than to be a sophisticated Christian who disbelieved in a God who did.")
A.W. Tozer (1897- 1963)

Powerful quote Gordon - our God is surely the God for all and yet atrocities have been carried out by the Crusaders many hundreds of years ago, in the name of the Lord - That is incomprehensible! Always love your poems Gordon. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

There is only one God, always puzzled me how people see him in different ways. Atrocities carried out by IS for their god, what god do they believe in certainly not the ever living god who preaches love and forgiveness. Enjoyed your verse Gordon, I hope you are well. Tom
