The Truth is that God exists.

What is faith to you? Is it simply believing that God exists?
Hebrews 11 6 But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is,
and is a rewarder to them that seek him.
For example: Do you have faith in your parents? Most people would say, "Of course!" But why? Because our parents love us and everything they do is for our good.
Therefore, having faith in God is not simply saying, "God exists." Even the demons say so and tremble (James 2 19 ). Having faith in God is calling God "Father!"
Romans 8 15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
3 Galatians 4 6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
When you can believe that God is your Father, that is faith.
how can god be real the world is dying slowing and there is nothing no one can do. Earthquakes killing 1000s ,tsunamis,typhoids,tornadoes. How can god just not do anything
God isn't doing that. But God does permit it. He permits it in order to bring a greater good from it. And he permits it to test OUR FAITH. Those weak in faith will blame Him and deny Him. Those strong in faith will see that those who have perished will be in a better place.
2 Corinthians 5 8 But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
And that those who are struggling will expiate many of their sins.
1 Peter 4 1 Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
And the love put into action by those who are seeking to aid the injured and the sorrowing.
Luke 6 35 But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil.
god has been created to make us feel safe but the truth is there is no god
God created us. God is the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.
1 Corinthians 13 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth;
Sincerely,
De Maria
