Every Man Needs God

As the Creator, God originated human life. To say that man can exist apart from God is to say that a watch can exist without a watchmaker or a story can exist without a storyteller. We owe our being to the God in Whose image we are made. Our existence depends on God, whether we acknowledge His existence or not.

As the Sustainer, God continuously confers life. He is Life, and all creation is held together by the power of Christ. Even those who reject God receive their sustenance from Him: “He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust”. To think that man can live without God is to suppose a sunflower can live without light or a rose without water.

As the Savior, God gives eternal life to those who believe. In Christ is life, which is the light of men. Jesus came that we may have life “more abundantly”. All who place their trust in Him are promised eternity with Him. For man to live—truly live—he must know Christ.
