Why Do We Need God?

by Gregory A. Johnson

We need God. A list of reasons why we need Him would be endless—taking more than a lifetime to compile. Please allow me to share a few reasons with you that are close to my heart:

• God covers us with amazing grace.
• God surrounds us with supernatural peace.
• God lets us know unconditional love. His love for us is not based on what we do or don’t do. His love for us was completed at the cross of Christ. It seems so simple, yet beyond our comprehension.
• God gives us a supreme gift of love that enables us to love those that we could never love before.
• God brings correction when we are wrong.
• God gives us more than one chance.
• God sees value in us.
• God never gives up on us.
• God allows us to dump all of our cares and anxieties on Him, granting us the privilege of communicating with Him in prayer.
• God gives us hope.
