We are starting a new series on the attributes of God: who is He? What is He like? And it makes sense to begin with his reality, the fact that he really does exist. The natural world provides clues that point to God's existence, and our own hearts add clues as well. Yet the Bible suggests that we all have a complex relationship with these clues. One part of us experiences them deeply, while another part fights against them. Ultimately it is the gospel of Jesus Christ that can reconcile us to ourselves and show us the grace and love of the God who is there. 

Application Questions: 

1. How have you experienced the clues of God's reality, either in the created world or in the human heart? 

2. What reaction do you have to the idea that God exists? What do you think motivates that reaction?

3. How does the gospel make God's existence good news? 

4. How would your life be different if you kept God's reality in mind throughout your day?
