There seems to be no logical grounds for belief in objective (beyond subjective opinion) moral values and duties without God. If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist. However, most would affirm that at least some objective moral values and duties do exist. Therefore, it follows that God exists.

If we affirm that there are at least some objective moral laws (beyond our subjective opinions), the most reasonable conclusion is to believe that there is some sort of Moral Lawgiver.

Scientists have discovered that there are numerous finely-tuned constants and quantities observed in the universe that have to be just right for there to be any life at all.

There appear to be only three possible explanations: (1) Necessity, (2) Chance, and (3) Design. Design seems to be, by far, the most reasonable explanation…

Research suggests that the modern conception of freedom — our most cherished virtue — is almost purely negative (i.e., freedom *from* constraints). The Truth of Jesus gives freedom *from* (negative freedom) our rebellious nature and freedom *to* (positive freedom) fulfill our original purpose — right relationship with God. Though our culture often co-opts His words, His is the Truth that truly “will set you free.”
