Theological Proof: Does God Exist?

Anywhere you look on social media, the internet, television and even radio for as long as I

can remember there has been a debate over is God real. So, if God is real, how do we know God

in order that we might know Him who is true and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus the

true story of everlasting life”.
