This I Believe In: I belive in God & my Faith

My faith starts with “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth”, a simple sentence like this has been questioned in the course of Church’s history and each is being challenged today. I was raised and baptized as a Catholic through my whole life and now as a religious Catholic young woman, we have no choice in the modern world but to know exactly what we profess in the first article of our Creed. I believe in God because I know from reason that God exists and that “He, more than anyone else, should be believed. He can neither deceive, because He is all-good, nor be deceived, because He is all-knowing.” But I also believe in God because we accept on His word with all that He has revealed to us about Himself and about His will for the human race.

I am one of many millions of people who believe in God and I have found thoroughly satisfying life by doing so. Not many people realize that the reason the topic of God weighed so heavily on other people’s mind was because God was pressing the issue. I have come to find out that God wants to be known and wants to acknowledge His existence. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us.

As to the people who may think, God does not force us to believe in him, though he could. Instead, he has provided sufficient proof of his existence for us to willingly respond to him. The earth is perfect distance from the sun, the unique chemical properties of water, the human brain, DNA, the number of people who attest to knowing God, the gnawing in our hearts and minds to determine if God is there, the willingness for God to be known through Jesus Christ. We all as human being have to face facts and eventually have to be open minded about the world; no one else has the answers out there, therefore, it is only up to us to choose in what we believe in. To this day, I have kept my faith and belief in God, so far, I continue to make it a cornerstone of my life.
