How We Know about God 1. Yes, God exists. God is the all-powerful Spirit who created everything that exists. He is our Father who is with us always and awaits us in heaven to share his everlasting joys with us. Through reason and revelation we can know that God exists.
Reason is our power to think.
We can know about God s existence from nature s laws and purposes, the degrees of perfection in the universe, motion, causes and effects, and the order and design of the universe. The longings of the human heart, conscience and freedom point to God as the ultimate source of our happiness. Yes, in its magnificence and order the universe points to a Creator. Revelation is God s self-communication to us, which he has made known to us through Scripture and Tradition, as taught by the teaching authority of the Church. We need God s revelation because without his help our reason could not discover everything that God wants us to know about himself, ourselves and his plan of love for us now and in the life to come.
