Proof That God Is Real

Let us look at St. Augustine and then I will talk afterward.

“Do not go outside yourself but turn back within. Truth dwells in the inner self. And if you find your nature given to frequent change, go beyond yourself. Move on, then, to that source where the light of reason itself receives its light.” On True Religion.

Now, I will talk on this subject and will build on from St. Augustine’s short reading and meditation.

In the world we want to find Truth and Truth is God and we look to the things outside ourself and we become led astray into different occults or we even are led so far astray; we leave and forget about God rather than moving toward Him in searching for Him.

When we turn into self and look inward; we find Truth; because in our soul; we find the Blessed Trinity and the Blessed Trinity is God in His three divine Persons.

God created us with a body and soul; with the soul our body is capable of moving and we are capable of being a live Spiritually and Literally.

God lives in our soul and if you haven’t been baptized but there is something called Baptism by desire. Means you desire to be Baptized and so you are baptized. I do not know if this is for the living or the people who are dying; I know the dying can be baptized by the desire.

Which means you are cleaned from the stain of Original Sin from our first parents: Adam and Eve and it also removes Mortal Sin. Now, babies only have the stain of Original Sin.

What if you aren’t Christian and you don’t believe in God? Yes very hard indeed but not impossible. Even though you do not believe in God or think there isn’t a God; the effect of God is there; because nothing can not create nothing; no matter how you look at it.

God is spirit and when God created everything out of nothing; He had the One Thought and His Only Word is God as it says in St. John’s Gospel. God spoke that Word; that thought/ word are so closely perfectly fitted together and that is the Second Person and the spirit between the two is the Holy Spirit. God spoke His Only Word and the universe, heaven and the angels were created out of nothing.

We were created out of nothing and God gave us body and soul. When you say you don’t believe God is real or you are angered at God.

He does not change and what you are angry at; is truths that are revealed but you do not know them or the rules given by God which you think go against your freedom. But your freedom doesn’t come from you but from God.

He gives you your rights, freedom. He gives you Free Will; which means you can choose to love God and to serve Him or you can say no and do evil.

Which is what St. Augustine talked about; we look outward and chose our own way and we are led astray into evil and when we turn inward we find Truth; because God is in our soul and God created us and is Our Father.

I wanted to touch on this reading from St. Augustine one more time or many times if I need to. Blessed Cardinal Newman said in his rules for writing a sermon; keep repeating and keep writing to make it easier for the reader or hearer to understand it. That is what I am going to try to do.

In Holy Writ or Holy Scripture; Jesus gives us the example of looking inward for Truth; because he told the tax collector and told the Apostles, “Whoever sees me, sees the Father.” To us Christians; that is true; because when we are baptized and confirmed; the Trinity is in us and living. So, God is within us. Now to those who do not believe in God or says there is no God; but yet they live a respectable life and stay out of trouble and what we would call mortal sin.

How or why are they living a respectable life; when they believe this is it and nothing is there when they die?

They could be living like a Rock Star to experience what it’s like or someone with fame; but they are living a life style God would be proud of. How?

They could have children and the children wake up the people and make them grow up and be mature; instead of acting like children or the mom and dad getting upset; but the children teach the parents how to act. The mother becomes like Christ; when that baby barely moves and she is there to take care of him or her; Jesus does the same thing; when we barely move; He’s there to take care of us and check on us.

So, the children are showing the examples of who God is and who God accepts into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The child teaches the parent; to be a parent like God; teaching the parent to have that sense when she or he is moving and be right there in hurry to check on them.

God is a parent and He does when we are in trouble, sick, hurt and most of all when we call on Him. He is also the Creator of everything,

Now, what if the non-believers don’t have children yet but are still living a life God would be proud of?

How did Christ show His love for us and His bride? By giving Himself up freely and dying for us all; including His bride. Do you think the husband would not die for his wife to protect her? Do you think the wife would not die for her husband?

One of the greatest acts of love; is giving up of yourself to die for those you love. Which Jesus did for His bride; the Church. Husbands are to be Christ-Like and do this if time comes for it and also should the wife if the husband is the one needing protection.

Both love each other and they would never think of cheating and always submissive to each other; as St. Paul writes that husbands and wives should be.

They maybe unbelievers but when it comes down to protecting the one you love or taking care of your child; you learn about God in a real way; by imitating Him when He’s on the Cross and God as a parent checking on His children.

You never look outward for the truth but you always look inward; because you feel the burning deep inside when you look at your child or when you rush in to take care of him or her. But also when the love of your life is being threatened and you jump in and take the bullet for her; so that she may live and raise the children. You know God more than you ever thought; by imitating what He told us to imitate of Him.

God bless
