College Admissions Essay: The Existence Of God

Improved Essays
When I was born, I was baptized as soon as possible. I have always been a Christian, I have believed that there is a God for as long as I can remember. I believe that I am a child of God and that once I die I’m going to live with my Father in Heaven. God has made the world and everything around the world and everything in the world, at least, that’s what I believe. People do bad things in their lives, but I think that if you’ve got God in your life, you’re doing pretty well. I believe that God will always love me and if I do something wrong, (which has happened a lot and will continue to happen throughout my lifetime) I can ask for forgiveness and if I truly want forgiveness, God will forgive me. I’ve never really known anything other than Christianity, that’s just what I was raised on. I’m pretty involved in my church and I try to go to youth meetings and activities, but lately I haven’t felt like going. My family used to go to church every Sunday, then get breakfast while me and my siblings stayed after service for Sunday School.
It’s always been a part of my life and I often wonder what it’s like after death. Is there really a God? I believe so, but what if it’s just dark? Like a deep sleep without dreams. What if it just ends after we die? Is

It’s pretty cool when I meet someone that doesn't believe in the same thing I do. I will definitely ask questions like “Do you pray?”, “What does your God do?”, or maybe “Where do you believe that are you going after you die?”. I’m a curious person, I usually ask a lot of questions when I learn something new. When people ask what I believe in, I tell them that I believe one day I’ll go and live with my Father in heaven and have eternal life. I tell them that I believe that one God has made me and every other person and animal that walks the Earth. I may tell them that one day I believe that God wilThl be coming back to judge all, living and dead. And This Is What I

    We are all called to fill multiple roles during our life. In chapters 5-8 of God at Work, Veith (2002) explains the importance of each of these vocations and how they intermix with each other. In looking at each of these, it is important to note that one vocation does not carry more power than another. Veith explains how God works through us in each of the vocations of worker, family member, citizen, and church member to love and serve our neighbor.…

    Firstly, my spiritual belief is one of the cultural lenses that I believe has majorly affected my view on the dispute of life after death. When I was sixteen years old, I made the biggest and dare I say, the greatest decision in my life, which was: receiving my Lord Jesus Christ. Because of my faith, I believe that once you die, you either go to heaven or you go to hell. Secondly, one of the cultural lenses that I believe has molded the attitude I have towards work ethic is my race.…

    Without Jesus, we are nothing. Jesus himself said in the bible that he is the vine and we are the branches. If we remain with him, we will bear fruits, but without him, we will not. While attending university, many Christians derail from their faith because of the temptations they face. Alcohol, drugs, and new philosophies surround them within their college campuses.…

    For the life of me I couldn't understand why the same God that the members of my church were praising was the same God that let all of those awful things happen to me. Fast forward to the summer of my freshman year of high school, when I had drifted so far from God I couldn't recognize the person staring back at me in the mirror anymore; I wasted so much of my time and energy being angry at a God that so desperately wanted me to know how much he loved and understood all the hurt, sadness, and anger I was holding onto. I will never forget the day I walked into church having no clue what God had planned for me that night. It was that night that I finally chose to forgive the man who caused me so much hurt, I chose to forgive my grandmother who I blamed for the void in my life that I tried filling with things that only provided temporary fulfillment and I chose to accept the grace, forgiveness, and peace God had been trying to give me my whole…

    God: The Existence Of God

    The Existence of God The question of whether God exists or not is a difficult question to answer because there is no definite proof to prove He exists. It has been such a controversial topic that to this day there is still no universally accepted answer. A scientific point of view and a religious point of view, both have their own reasons and speculations and although some points are mutually accepted, there is no mutual answer to this question. A great majority in the scientific side will believe God does not exist while the religious side disagrees and vice versa as long as both sides have no solid proof. By a solid proof, I mean something where people can clearly see that it is in fact proof of God’s existence.…

    Death is a small, seemingly innocuous five-letter word. It is a topic that many do not like to discuss until it is absolutely necessary, while others may sit and ponder it in order to make sense of their life and purpose. Many ask themselves things such as “what will happen to me after I die?” One may think that humans are scared of dying or even say that they personally are scared of death. The uncertainty of an afterlife, or the concern over what will happen to those one leaves behind are valid concerns.…

    Where the beginning of Morality came from has been a huge debate among people for hundreds of years now. Morality can also be called the goodness in people or the desire to be good. Theists believe morality comes from God. Atheists believe that morality comes from our own conscience or reason. In this essay we are going to focus on proving that morality could not have come from God in view of the following reasons, 1: You can be good without God, 2: The Bible is not a clear guide for direction on morality, 3: There are many things that religious people do not agree with, and 4: The problem of evil.…

    God is Real Famous scientist Isaac Newton once said “In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.” It is safe to say that some people need more convincing than Isaac Newton to believe in God. There have been countless movies made to convince the existence of the existence of God. An example is Heaven is For Real; unfortunately, there was controversy as to whether it was made up in order to become wealthy. There always seems to be a reason as to why the existence of God is false.…

    During my childhood and lower teens, I was very involved in church. I would go to every event or meeting put on by our church. Watching certain senior youth members, I didn’t understand why they would just come to the fun events. I would only see them during our mission trips or camps, but never at business or regular meetings. Then I promised myself that I would always stay as active as I could.…
