While in the mundane, we encounter countless sorts of people from countless of backgrounds and walks of life. Each one encounters with another; with whom they agree or differ in faith, culture, etc. But in terms of Spiritual life; the following categories apply;
- Committed Believers,
- Misguided Believers
- Non-committed Believer
- Non-Believers (Atheists).
There is much about God. Yet what is manifest to us is the least. And even then, one can hardly tell all the least that is manifest to us if to have it all consumed.
Moses wrote that the secret things belong to the Lord (Deuteronomy 29:29). And only what is revealed to us is enough for us not to be oblivious of who God is and that He is.
Even in the literal world, not everybody is to know everything. For example, there are matters which are to be known to husband and wife and not to the children (basing on the hierarchy and the given reasons for such a scenario). Do you realize that organizations, nations, families etc have top secrets?

Jesus admonished the disciples that He had had much to tell them, but it wasn't the time to do so because they wouldn't bear it (John 16:12).
Paul wrote that we only know in bits. That we don't have the full knowledge because it is not yet time to know all, but when the right time comes, we will then know everything (1Corinthians 13:9-10). You and I (may) not have what it takes to know all if to say.

Amongst the many things scripture tells us about God are the few following;
God is Spirit (John 4:24)
With this, it so means that the carnal man can't see God. For if God is Spirit, so it requires that we can only see Him if in the Spirit. Thus for scripture to say; God is Spirit and those who worship Him must do so in Spirit and in truth.
In this then, it is quite unfounded for one to claim God is not in existence when they have not taken a step to know if He is (yet indeed God is). Take for example if one loved to be a doctor but doesn't want to take the steps to become one. Take for another example that one would claim that Canada does exist simply because he has not been there, nor has he taken steps to get there so as to prove if Canada is or is not.

If then one would sincerely love to ascertain the Supreme Being is, it isn't simply a wish. There are steps to take and some efforts to apply.
The Soviets are known for having been at the forefront of any and every denial that there is ever the Supreme Being. The first man to access the outer space was a Russian called Yuri Gagarin on 12th April, 1961. The world celebrated him for such an achievement ever in the history of the human race. In response to this, the Soviet Union leader called Nikita Khrushchev (1958-1964) commented that when Gagarin went to outer space, he saw "only" the stars and other objects and not God. He thus concluded that that was confirmation there is no Supreme Being.
What Nikita failed to understand is that God is not a literal being, neither does He wish to be. God is Spirit and whoever wishes to get to the spirit has to do so by taking the necessary steps. And since God is spirit, any and every steps to be taken must be spiritual.
For take for example that if Gagarin had not taken the necessary steps to go to outer space, would he have ever known what there is? Or would one who lived before Gagarin be right by denying there is outer space, or if it is there how it appears? Equally so, if one sincerely loves to know the existence of the Supreme Being, he takes certain steps, but not simply to deny God is.

Now that both Khrushchev and Gagarin are already out of this earthly life, where they are; they must have already reliably proven if the Supreme Being is or He is not. For if life comes from somewhere, it must be coming from a Being because it is life.
If life is lost at a point, then where is it lost? Who takes it but has not given it? At a time "T", all these questions will reliably be answered. Yet make sure it is not impossible to reverse the trend when all the truth is clearly visible. For what do I lose if I insist there is the Supreme Being when He is not, if to ask? When I get there and He is not, then what is it? Yet I will carry on to insist the Supreme Being is because it is wiser and prudent this way.

For consider what already is available for our consumption. Say for example the planet earth on which we are. Could the design of this planet earth have simply happened? Is this planet earth simply rotating just at the proportionate speed on its own, so that everything in it is maintained with no antagonism at all?
Is this planet simply holding itself in space? Consider also that unlike the rest of the planets, this planet is self sustaining with everything that is vital for life to thrive. And each of these is right in the quantities that it is required. Could all such be simply occurrences?

Consider also the measurements in the spacing in the outer space between the objects there are, which is accurately so, so much that any slight change in this would create disaster for all the dwellers of this planet earth.
The planet earth is accurately spaced from the sun and the moon. The Moon is only able to give light by reflecting off the rays of the sun. Yet all this is simply the least of all that I can tell.
Could all such art and design have simply worked out itself? What a wonder way things can simply work out themselves!!!??? Am I really mistaken to believe the Supreme Being is?! Which is prudent? Is it to say the Supreme Being is not when actually He is? Or to say He is and He indeed is? Yet good enough, the time is nigh that each individual will have these questions satisfactorily answered.

The case of good and evil
In spirit and soul, could it ever be true that either good or evil stems from nowhere? That good is simply good? How and where could it have come to be known as so? What is being good anyway?
How about evil? What is the source of that inherent drive for either good or evil if at all it comes from nowhere as some people would love us to believe?
Where do the conflicting voices come from? I have happened to have discussions with some Doubters and Atheists. One thing I have come to understand of them, is that they simply wish God wasn't there!!! Such people simply want to be independent of anything and everything.
These people may not rather have a strong belief in what they advocate for because there is no tangible reliable proof for it. Yet there is enough reliable proof that the Supreme Being indeed is.

In an effort to try to disapprove the existence of the Supreme Being, some people have been caught arguing and trying to put God to the test if at all He is. Yet God will never approve He is how you want it because that is not how He works. Rather instructions are to come from God and not the other way round. God is Supreme to you and He knows what to do when. And by your existence, He is already proven He is.
If you are a parent and your child says; you can beat and kill me if you wish". Would you do what the child asks for because they have asked? Do you have to force your parenthood on a child?
If you are a husband and your wife provokes you to beat and kill her if you wish, do you do just that? Does God have to come to your level to prove He is? God is and that is simply what it is.

In the Old Testament times, God revealed Himself
to individuals in various ways (Genesis 18:1-2), (Exodus 17:6; 40:36),
(Numbers 9:17; 9:22; 20:11). But in the New Testament times, God has
revealed Himself to us all by sending His Son Jesus Christ. For God has always had a perfect plan for us. But the plan is a mystery to us. We need God so we can know what this plan is
Jesus Christ is the Mediator between man and God (1Timothy 2:5). For Jesus attests that He came from heaven and for anything and everything we love to know about God, then we should look to Him (John 8:23; 14:8-11).
That to have accepted Christ is to have chosen the right and correct way to come to the knowledge of not only knowing God is, but to come to the knowledge of all the truth. And the truth of all is Jesus Christ.
On this then, to deny Jesus is to have taken the biggest step never ever to know the being of the Supreme Being. Yet God wants all men to be saved and to come to know all the truth (1Timothy 2:3-4).

One of the devil's key battles is to antagonize the way to God. An Atheist goes on to protest God's existence simply because he has chosen to deny God is, or if he chooses to ascertain if God is, he lacks a clue how to do it. It is in such a state of confusion, oblivion, and mendacity that the devil presents himself as if he is the way to God.
All this has resulted in the confusion people are faced with. Everybody thinks they have taken the right way. Even the sorcerer is aware there is the Supreme Being and he does believe (only falsely) he has taken the right way to get to God. Thus Jesus admonished us by showing us the way which is only but in Him (John 14:6).

God is eternal (Deuteronomy 33:27).
This is to say; there is no time when God is not. God's being is forever and ever. No one knows where God comes from (that is to say if at all He does). And no one knows where He is heading to. God is immortal.
God is not subjected to the dictates of anything. He is self existing. He lives only by Himself (Job 36:26), (Psalms 102:12), (Isaiah 41:4, 40:28), (Habakkuk 1:12).
But man and all the rest of the creatures aren't eternal. Man's days are numbered. Man lives for a while and he is no more (Genesis 6:3). That alone tells how man is lacking in anything and everything that would make him challenge the being of God.

God is the Supreme Being. He (God) is the sole giver of anything and everything called life to everything (Numbers 16:22; 27:16), (Jeremiah 32:27).
God is supreme to any and everything. That is; above God, there is no other being. Only God gives life. And all the spirits of whether heaven or earth have their origin in God. Without God, nothing would have ever been if to say. For God is the Father of all spirits (Ephesians 4:6), (Hebrews 12:9).
God is the Alpha and the Omega/The Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8, 1:17; 21:6-7, 22:13), (Isaiah 44:6; 48:12).
In this, we learn that anything and everything is because God is. And anything and everything is not because God is not, if to say. That is; if anything and everything is, there is no other way it could have ever come into being except that it had to have began with a Being. And if anything and everything is to be no more, there is no other besides God by whom it hits its end. Thus then, anything and everything begins with God and it is God who brings to an end.
God the Creator of all
God is the Creator of anything and everything (Genesis 1:1), (Isaiah
40:28; 45:7), (Nehemiah 9:6). That is; if God is not, then nothing is.
One may choose to live in denial but no one can do more than that. I
call it simple denial because if it wasn't, then humans would dictate
anything and everything. The fact that a lot is beyond what we know and
can do tells that it is to someone well above. Say for example, who
takes away your breath?
If God is our Creator, who then is the Creator of God?
First of all, if to ask; what position is man that he should ask such a question? Is this question from a position of having found out what tells the Supreme Being is not? What is the evidence that the Supreme Being is not? For if we ask, what answer is one craving for? Do we need to ask such a question? Isn't there literal evidence that God is?
For whether one disputes the Judge's powers or not, if He (God) does pass the judgment, it will stand anyway. There are already judgments which the Supreme Being has already passed on all creation as first hand proof He is Supreme to any and everything. What can you change?

God is Omnipresent (Psalms 139:7-12).
God is anywhere and everywhere. Man can't be anywhere and everywhere at the same time. Man is limited by factors well beyond his control. For nations and regions have boundaries.
There are places man wouldn't wish and can't dare to go to; such as the sun, the grave. Or sometimes man is limited by the hour of the time. Say at night, man will retreat to their houses. Man tries to tune nature so as to make it habitable for him. Yet God is never limited by any such factors as to dictate when to be where, or to be in one area and not another.

Man tries to tune nature so as to make it habitable for him. Yet God is never limited by any such factors as to dictate when to be where, or to be in one area and not another.
Yet all the above is said but in literal terms. Say God is anywhere and everywhere because He even knows the state of the mind. That is; God knows the person of any and everybody. Man can literally hide his person from one another, but not to God.
The fact that there is a part of any and everybody that is never known to the other tells there is the Supreme Being to whom the inner man is answerable to. For only that Supreme Being and the spirit of man know the state of any and every individual inner being. Say like when you would trust someone but he does the opposite. For what he is to do is only known to him. Yet he can never hide it from the Supreme Being.
God is Omniscient (Isaiah 48:3)
In this, it is that God is all knowing. That nothing happens anywhere without the knowledge of God. Thus scripture admonishes us that even what is exclusively known to an individual is only not known to fellow humans, but it is known to God (Matthew 5:28), (Luke 12:2-3).
Say for example when someone imagines something whether good or bad in heart and mind. By the heavenly standards, if it is a bad intentioned thought, it is already to be sin. This is so because all we do begins within. It is not simply an occurrence. More often than not, it is planned. On this then, how all we do even in secret is known is the Omniscience of the Supreme Being and that is God.
More attributes which are exclusive to God.

God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), (2 Samuel 22:32-34), (Daniel 4:35), (Luke 1:37), (Isaiah 42:8, 43:11-21, 44:24, 44:6, 45:5, 46:9-11), (Hosea 13:4).
God is Holy. That is rather He is exceptional and unique in how He is and how He works (Isaiah 6:2-3).
God is Omnipotent (All powerful) (Matthew 28:18).
God is sovereign (Deuteronomy 3:24).
God is faithful (Numbers 23:19), (Deuteronomy 10:17).
God is merciful (Deuteronomy 4:31), (Joel 2:12-14), (Matthew 5:7), (Hebrews 4:16), (Ephesians 2:4-7), (Titus 3:4-5), (1Peter 1:3-4).
God is righteous (Psalms 48:10, 71:19, 36:6, 97:6, 119:142, 149:17), (Deuteronomy 32:4), (Isaiah 45:21), (Jeremiah 12:1), (John 17:25), (Job 37:23), (Romans 8:33). Scripture does affirm that righteousness is the foundation of God's throne (Psalms 97:2).
God is gracious (Ephesians 2:8), (Romans 11:6), (Acts 15:39-40), (2Corinthians 12:8-9).
God is love (1John 4:7, 4:8, 4:16, 4:19), (John 3:16, 14:8-11).
If you have belongings, and you do not belong to SOMEONE or SOMEWHERE? This is your time to submit to God through His Son Jesus Christ. You can't know more about God if you have not taken a step to know Him.
The state in which you are now, is that you are at war with God. He can never reveal Himself to you like that. Only in Jesus do you have the golden opportunity to be a friend to God. And once you become a friend, then you will know all that you are supposed to know. And when you get to know it, then you will know what to do. And when you get to know what to do and do it well, then you will have saved your soul.
