April 22 Question number 8 and 10

8. It is said that even the devil knows that God exist. What importance or value does knowing God's existence have in human life?

It is true that the devil knows that God exists. The devil have tried to lure Jesus into evil things but he didn't succeed. Through this we can say that the power of goodness is greater than the evil. The devil will also try to lure us to do bad things. He will not succeed if we have faith in God.

There are lots of benefits that we can get if we believe in the existence of God. We will tend to follow all his teachings. It is better to believe in the existence of God so that we would be afraid to do bad things. This will help us become a better person.

People tend to do bad things when they don't believe in God. They are not afraid of doing bad things since they believe that God does not exist. We could become a good person if we believe in God and follow his teachings. This will hinder us from doing bad things. It could also help us to live our life to the fullest.

10.Gregory of Nyssa once said, "... finding God consists in endlessly seeking God." Do you think trying to find God through the arguments or proofs is an essential part in seeking God? Why or why not?

The Bible is only as reliable and trustworthy as its author and this it was set forth by God who was “in the beginning” and who knows the end from the beginning. God is someone who is eternal. Many have described the Bible as our owner’s manual. Since God made us, He knows how we are to live. He knows what will keep us healthy in mind, body and spirit. He knows what will make us happy.

I believe that trying to find God through the arguments or proofs is an essential part in seeking God. It can help us answer our doubt about the existence of God. As human beings it is just natural for us to look for some proofs in order for us to distinguish right from wrong. Through this we will be able to know more about God. This may also strengthen our faith.

As we look at the status quo, many of the scholars are still arguing about the existence of God. This is just a way of showing that there are still people longing for more evidence to believe that God really exist. Through this argument, we will tend to continue searching for the answer if god really exist. It is a fact that we should seek god endlessly because he is infinite. We can eradicate those doubt if we have faith in god.
