"I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." ~ Exodus 20:2

"The existence of God is scarcely a question for rational dispute; nor does it call for proof by the feeble demonstrations of man's logic, for the fact is admitted by the human family practically without question, and the consciousness of subjection to a supreme power is an inborn attribute of mankind. The early scriptures are not devoted to a primary demonstration of God's existence, nor to attacks on the sophistries of atheism; and from this fact we may infer that the errors of doubt developed in some later period. The universal assent of mankind to the existence of God is at least strongly corroborative. There is a filial passion within human nature that flames toward heaven. Every nation, every tribe, every individual, yearns for some object of reverence. It is natural for man to worship; his soul is unsatisfied until he finds a deity. When men through transgression fell into darkness concerning the true and living God, they established for themselves other deities, and so arose the abominations of idolatry. And yet, even the most revolting of these practises testify to the existence of a God by demonstrating man's hereditary passion for worship.

"The evidence upon which mankind rest their conviction regarding the existence of a Supreme Being, may be classified for convenience of consideration under the three following heads:

1. The evidence of history and tradition.
2. The evidence furnished by the exercise of human reason.
3. The conclusive evidence of direct revelation from God.

(James E. Talmage, The Articles of Faith, p. 26.)

 I offer my witness that God lives.  He is real, and we can be made free through His Son Jesus Christ.  We are commanded to believe in God, to know that He is God.
