How Do We Know That God Is Real?

How Do We Know That God Is Real?

August 19, 2026 · 31 min

Does God exist? It's the question that's been plaguing mankind since the very beginning. In this episode of Clearview Today, we launch a brand-new series — Systematic Theology — where over the next couple of months we'll dig into what we actually believe as Bible-believing Christians: God, sin, humanity, salvation, and the end times. And we start exactly where we should: does God exist, and how can we know?Dr. Abidan Shah lays out two reasons we know God is real: our inner sense, and Scripture. Romans 1:20 says God's invisible attributes are clearly seen in creation, so that no one is without excuse — meaning even the most convinced atheist knows, deep down, that God is there. We talk through why someone might suppress that knowledge, how one honest question can turn a self-proclaimed atheist into an agnostic in thirty seconds flat, and why the reason a thief can't find a policeman is the same reason someone actively avoiding God will never find Him.But an inner sense alone was never meant to save you. The episode closes on the harder truth: you can't get to God around Jesus, only through Him — because sin has broken the image we were made to bear, and only Christ can stand as the mediator and restore it. Scripture alone tells us what that inner sense cannot: that we need a Savior, and that Savior has already come.
