We explore the fundamental question many Christians face from others: "Why do I need God?" This introspective journey examines how our three-part being (spirit, soul, and body) naturally seeks connection with something greater.
• Every religious faith acknowledges a higher power, though they differ in their understanding of it
• Jeremiah 29:13 promises "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"
• Life's hardest moments - terminal illness, death, and grief - reveal our need for something beyond ourselves
• Within every heart exists a "God-shaped vacuum" that only the divine can fill
• The resurrection of Jesus changes everything about how we understand existence and destiny
• Faith isn't just a crutch but adds a third dimension to all aspects of life
• We must consider whether we can afford to live without God if there truly is life after death
• Our existence has purpose beyond random chance
If you're seeking a relationship with God, contact your local church, speak with a Christian friend, or message us for guidance toward salvation.
