Christmas: Proof God Loves You

​As the story goes, Bertrand Russell is reported to have said something along the lines of "God, you gave us insufficient evidence," or "Not enough evidence, God, not enough evidence" as his defense if he ever did meet God.  I’m sure there are other atheists who might say that is a reasonable position to take.  But, after creating the entire universe what more would He need to do to convince them?  You really only have 3 options for explaining our existence.  1) We live within the improbability of an infinite regression.  2) There was nothing and then universe sprang into existence.  Or there's #3) the universe was created by an all-powerful omniscient God. 
 
I suppose you could modify the 3rd option to be a pre-existent impersonal force that is not subject to time, doesn’t occupy space and is information based and orderly.  But then you still have to determine from where a decision to create came.  So, we’re back to the need for a decision maker and a personal God fits the bill.  I lean in the direction that most people do believe there has always been something that in turn created the reality in which we live, the uncaused cause.  If Mr. Russell did say the above quotation he basically admitted to his own suspicions of that truth.  You can’t have a conversation with an impersonal force.
 
The Bible says in Romans 1:19 & 20 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.  The universe is a strong argument favoring God. 
 
Christmas is an annual reminder that the Creator God cares about His creation.  The birth of Jesus Christ set in motion the final steps of God’s redemptive plan.  It was the gateway to Easter.  I’ll yield to the words of Charles Westley: 
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Glory to the newborn King!   Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord!  Mild He lays His glory by. Born that we no more may die. Born to raise the sons of earth. Born to give them second birth!
 
Jesus Christ offers the gift of everlasting life to all who will believe in Him for that life.
