Consider if you will, three things the reality of God means for our lives.
1. What He says is true. All scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Tim 3:16,17). Sometime when people tell us certain things, we stop and wonder if what they are telling is true. This is not the case with God. If God is real, then what He says is true, and we must take Him at His word and trust what He has said. Everything from His promises to His warnings are sure.
2. How we live matters. If what Hew says is true, then all will stand before the judgement seat of Christ and give an account for the things we have done in the body (2Cor 5:10). Thus every action we engage in and every word we speak matters. Everything we do or don{"t do is important if God is real.
3. We have an eternal hope. For Christians, the eternal hope we have changes how we live our lives. We don't have to face death with a feeling of defeat, because through Jesus we are victorious (1Cor 15:54-58). Every day we wake up, no matter what we face, we have hope (1 Pt 1:3).
Friends, God is real and what an impact that has on our Christian lives! We don't have to live our lives thinking, "What if God is real?". Instead, we can live our lives believing, "Because God is real, we know what He says is true and that how we live matters."
