For the believers: Are you glad God exists? How would your life be different if he didn't?

Question

It's a genuine question. Sincere answers most appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, of course! I'm glad that God exists! Considering that I am a devoted God fearing saint, who serves God with all of my heart and soul, it would be very devastating if God didn't exist. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about that, because I know with all of my heart that he does indeed exists. Why? Would my life be different? Well, it will be different, because i'll just go about doing the same as everyone else in this world, instead of coming out from anomg the world, and being different, like I am now. If he didn't exists, I'll be the same as everyone else, going out and sinning non stop, instead of letting God's light shine through me so that people can see God in me.

Answer 2

Oh course i am glad that god exists! I love him, he is my father. Without god i would not have any hope for life, joy, happiness, and love. Also and most importantly, I would not have a heaven to go to. I would just die and never have any life afterwards.

Without god there would be no world and therefore neither you nor i nor anyone else would be here. In fact there wouldn't be anything, since god created everything.

So I guess you could say that i am glad there is a god:)!

God Bless You

Answer 3

yes i'm glad he exists

i wouldn't be here if he didn't exist

Answer 4

Yes I am.

Full of doubt, and devoid of hope. I say this because that's what life was for me before turning back to God.

Answer 5

Am I glad He exists?  Well, yes.  I like having a soul and I look forward to going Home when this life is over.

Would my life be different?  As a believer in reincarnation, I believe that God encouraged me when I chose my purpose for coming here.  I believe that the hardships and pain were learning experiences that I chose before I got here.  So, yes, my life would be different.

Answer 6

Your question in my opinion presupposes certain truths.  Some of my brothers and sisters have come at this from a Christian viewpoint.  My understanding is that you presume we wake up one morning and the world is the same as it always has.  However, some valid and irrefutable evidence proves God does not exist.

If my presumptions are correct, then my life in many ways would be different.  Whether or not God exists, his commandments and laws make for a healthy society and world.  So I would continue to follow those rules.

What would change, is there would be an emptiness inside where God's Spirit has always been.  I would have no hope.  The depression which I've struggled with all my life would become despair and blackness instead of the light that now fills my life.  I would find no hope of life eternal.  This would make life meaningless.

The struggles and injustices of my life would never be vindicated.  I would therefore have little to comfort or give to others.

There is much more to say, but this is already too long. It was a challenging and respectful question.  I hope this is something of what you were looking for.

Answer 7

Yes, and I had never lived life without him, O yeah I have acted without God but never openly rejected the concept.

Answer 8

yes .. i would feel all alone, cold, naked, fearful with no safe place to hide .. uncertain of the future and hopeless unless i learned to avoid any thought of it ..

Answer 9

What would I have to live for if God didn't exist.  Nothing would matter.

Answer 10

ya im glad he exists .everybodys life would be different if He didn't exist because we wouldnt have a life.

Answer 11

Yes I do,  If wouldnt be a life for anyone.

Answer 12

Yeah, that is a good question.  They'd live.  It would hurt for a little while but they'd survive.

Answer 13

We wouldn't be here if our God didn't exist. I'm so glad we have a Father to look up to in this twisted world, because when we are so confused and lost in our problems we can always be sure that he will remain true. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. =)

Answer 14

I'm glad He exists.  If he didn't I think I would be a miserable wretch trying to convince other people not to believe in Him. I would have no problem with atheists trying to convince believers that God does not exist if not for the fact that they're wrong.  They're trying to get people to believe in their fairy tale.

Answer 15

I'll answer from the perspective of when I used to be a believer. (I'm not anymore; I'm an atheist.)

I was always glad God exists, and I was glad that through sheer luck I was born into a family that taught me about God and Jesus. I worried about the possibility: What if I had been born in another country and raised another religion?

I was certainly glad God existed. But there was always that terror, too: What if I s***w up and do something wrong and end up in h**l.

Today I've given up on all those ideas and even wrote a book about my journey of breaking away. I no longer believe in God, and I can say that I'm even happier today. (Although that last part doesn't really pertain to your question I guess...)

Answer 16

I am very much. It helps me understand that I am connected to everyone around me and all who I come in contact with - including on this forum.

I cannot imagine a life without God. I've sensed this presence in my life for all of my life. I am not sure that I would still be here. God is the strength that I stand on in times of challenge and difficulty. God is the inclination in me to be more tolerant and understanding. God is the love that I feel for others. I think my life would be empty without God.  

Answer 17

Because I am a believer, and I believe that God created all things, then I also believe that if God did not exist, then nothing would exist. It's not like the earth and the rest of creation existed, and then God popped out of no where in the middle of it all.  

Answer 18

Yes I am very much so.
