Where You Find God

Where can you find God? Most people believe there is a God, but where can you find him? You can try to find him in different religions and fail. You may try to find God through philosophy and not succeed. You may listen to preachers and never find God.

There is only one place you can find God. He must be found in your heart. That is your innermost being --- your mind, will, and emotions. God must reveal himself to your heart, or you will never find him. The Holy Spirit makes God real in your heart.

God reveals his love and grace to you at the cross of Jesus. His power is revealed to you through Jesus raised from the dead. Yet, you will never believe, until God makes it real in your heart. The Holy Spirit enables you to know God through Jesus, in your heart. That's where you find God.

"And true circumcision is not a cutting of the body,
but a change of heart produced by God's Spirit."
Romans 2:29, NLT

"For if you confess with your mouth
that Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved."
Romans 10:9, NLT
