Why Doesn’t God Make His Existence More Evident?

Evidence of God

“Why didn’t God write ‘Jesus Saves’ with the stars?…. As counterintuitive as it may seem, there is no reason to believe that if God were to make His existence more manifest that more people would repent of their sin and enter into a saving relationship with Him.” - Sean McDowell

John 1:18 “. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.”

Jesus reveals God!

I appreciated this observation also from Sean’s article…

After carefully examining the evidence, however, I became convinced that God has made himself known (Rom. 1:18–21; 2:14, 15). He has not made Himself known exhaustively, but He has sufficiently. Consider three prominent arguments for the existence of God…

He then goes on to summarize several of the classical and some more recent arguments in support of the existence of God.

(Also, the Filing originally attributed the post to Alcorn, but the quoted part is from McDowell, so that has been corrected.)

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
