How Can I Know God Is Real? Biblical Evidence for God's Existence

Is there real evidence that God exists [https://finishtherace.com/eric/how-can-i-know-god-is-real-biblical-evidence-for-gods-existence/], or is faith simply wishful thinking? In this inaugural episode of Theo Answers, Eric Thompson explores one of life's most important questions through the lens of Scripture. Rather than beginning with human opinions or cultural assumptions, we open God's Word to discover how God has revealed Himself through creation, the human conscience, His inspired Word, and ultimately through His Son, Jesus Christ. Together, we'll examine key passages from Genesis, Psalms, Romans, John, Hebrews, and more to see how the Bible presents a compelling and unified testimony to God's existence. Along the way, we'll learn from faithful Christians throughout history, uncover the difference between general and special revelation, and discover why every person is confronted with the reality of God's glory every day. This episode is more than an intellectual discussion—it is a call to respond. The greatest question is not simply, "Does God exist?" The greater question is, "Will I believe the God who has revealed Himself?" Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a skeptic, or someone honestly searching for answers, this lesson will point you to the hope found only in Jesus Christ and challenge you to build your life on God's unchanging truth.

Saved by Grace Alone | Why You Can Never Earn God's Love

What does it truly mean to be saved by grace? Is salvation something we earn through good works, religious devotion, or personal effort? In this episode of the Finish The Race Podcast, Eric Thompson opens God's Word to explain the biblical doctrine of grace alone—one of the foundational truths of the Christian faith. Through passages like Ephesians 2:8–10, Romans 3, and Titus 2, you'll discover why salvation is God's free gift to undeserving sinners through Jesus Christ alone. Together, we'll explore the difference between grace and mercy, why no amount of good works can make us right with a holy God, and how Christ accomplished everything necessary for our salvation through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection. Drawing from the teachings of faithful Christian leaders such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, R.C. Sproul, and John MacArthur, this episode explains why the Gospel is not about what we do for God—but what God has done for us in Christ. Whether you're investigating Christianity, struggling with guilt, or simply need the reminder that God's grace is greater than your failures, this episode will encourage you to rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Discover why grace doesn't merely forgive sinners—it transforms them, sustains them, and gives them the confidence to run the race of faith until the very end.
