Is God really that hard to find?
1 – Scripture is Full of People Trying To Find God:
“If only I knew where to find God, I would go to his court. I would lay out my case … I go east, but he’s not there. I go west, but I cannot find him.” Job 23: 2-4, 8-9 (NIV)
“O God my rock … why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, “Where is this God of yours?” Psalm 42:9-10 (NIV)
YET – these people do not give up on God.
“The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21 (NIV)
“I will put my hope in God. I will praise him again – my Saviour and my God.” Psalm 42:11 (NIV)
2 – I’m Not Convinced God’s That Hard to Find:
There are compelling reasons to think God exists (the Cosmological Argument, the Fine-Tuning Argument, the Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, etc)
3 – I Don’t Think God Making Himself More Obvious Would Help:
People are skilled at avoiding evidence for facts they dislike.
Right now, God may wish to protect our free will and not compel us to bow the knee to him.
4 – God Doesn’t Want People To Believe He’s There – He Wants People Who are Disciples
5 - God provides enough evidence for those who WILL choose to believe and follow Christ
“The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don’t make him. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us. He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him, can’t get away from him!” Acts 17:24-26 (The Message)
