There are numerous arguments for the existence of God, but one today is so important that I feel like we need to talk about it. You see we have a design argument, a cosmological argument, a first-cause argument, and others but today we need to talk about the Moral Argument for God. Each one of these can take hours to explain but I am going to try and do it in the limited time today.
I have been praying about this message for a long time and just haven’t felt it was time to say it, I will admit that the reason I have not wanted or felt like it was time for this topic is because of my own insecurities and fear. Maybe I won’t do it justice or just confuse someone but at the end of the God, this is what God is directing me to talk about. If you have listened, you know I am a huge fan of apologetics and study it as much as I can. I hope that one day to attend the Cross-Examined Instructors Academy with some of the best apologetics in the world. Because of this you may have heard this argument before, read it in books, or listening to podcasts or some other media outlet, which is ok, but I want you to know this is not something I just decided to talk about. What I am going to say is the same thing you will hear from several other sources.
C.S. Lewis summarized the Moral Argument in Mere Christianity this way:
- There is a universal Moral Law
- If there is a universal Moral Law, there is a Moral Law giver
- If there is a Moral Law giver, it must be something beyond the universe.
- Therefore, there is something beyond the universe
