Many people live as if God doesn’t exist, shaping their lives by their own desires and standards. But when we pause and think logically and honestly, it becomes clear, God absolutely matters. Here are seven reasons why:
1. God Matters Because He Is Our Creator
God is the one who brought the universe into existence and gave life to every living being. As the Creator, He holds authority over creation, including us. He gave us breath, sustains our lives daily, and provides all things. Because He made us, we are accountable to Him. This alone tells us that God matters.
2. Without God, There Is No Moral Standard
If there is no God, then there’s no ultimate authority to define right and wrong. Morality becomes subjective, just a matter of personal or cultural opinion. Without God, good and evil are reduced to preferences. You may admire someone like Mother Teresa, while someone else may admire Hitler. But without a higher moral lawgiver, there’s no way to say one is truly better than the other. God provides the objective standard of morality. That’s why He matters.
3. Without God, Life Has No Lasting Meaning
We all crave purpose. Even those who gain success, wealth, or pleasure often feel a sense of emptiness inside. That’s because worldly achievements cannot fully satisfy the human soul. We were created to live in relationship with God, and only He can fill the void we sense within. God gives meaning to life, a purpose beyond just surviving and striving. That’s why He matters.
4. God Answers Life’s Most Important Questions
There are five major questions every person wrestles with:
- Origin: Where did I come from?
- Identity: Who am I?
- Meaning: Why am I here?
- Morality: How should I live?
- Destiny: What happens after I die?
Only belief in a true and personal God provides consistent, satisfying answers to all five. Without God, these questions remain unanswered or hollow.
5. Eternity Matters—So God Matters
This life is brief, perhaps 70 or 80 years, maybe less. But eternity has no end. If this life is all there is, then everything eventually becomes meaningless. But if there is an eternal future, everything changes. According to Scripture, eternal life, true, unending joy, is found only in knowing the living God. Whether we spend eternity with Him or separated from Him depends on our relationship with Him now. God matters because eternity matters.
6. God Ensures Justice Will Prevail
In this world, evil often goes unpunished. The wicked prosper. The innocent suffer. Justice isn’t always served here. But Scripture promises that God will judge every person. Nothing done in secret will remain hidden. God’s perfect justice will prevail. A world without God is a world without ultimate justice. That’s why He matters.
7. God Reveals the Truth About Reality
We live in a world filled with deception, spiritual, moral, and intellectual. The Bible tells us that the enemy (Satan) has blinded many, even within the church. Without God, we cannot fully grasp the truth about ourselves, this world, or eternity. But God, through His Word and Spirit, opens our eyes and leads us into truth. We need God to see clearly. That’s why He matters.
In conclusion, God is not just an abstract idea or a distant being. He is the foundation of truth, justice, purpose, and hope. Without Him, life loses its meaning, morality becomes relative, and eternity is a question mark. But with Him, everything comes into focus. Yes - God matters. More than anything else.
