Keach's Catechism, Question 3

Question 3

How do we know there is a God?

The light of nature in man, and the works of God, plainly declare that there is a God; but His Word and Spirit only, do effectually reveal Him unto us for our salvation.

Romans 1:18-20

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

Psalms 19:1-2

1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

2 Timothy 3:15

15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:21-24

21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

22Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,

23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

9Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
