Concept of God

In this vast universe, man’s only source of support is God. Man’s very nature constantly urges him to recognise the need for God. Without God, man’s life is incomplete. Without the help of God, we cannot succeed in life. The following example further illustrates man’s position. A hundred years ago, a ship sailed from the coast of America to Africa. A severe storm broke out when the ship was far out to the deep sea. The ship began to shake and jolt. All the passengers were in great fear and anxiety. At this time of crisis, one of the passengers saw a little girl sitting in the corner of the deck. She was playing with her dolls, relatively undisturbed by the storm. He became curious and asked her, “Do you know what is happening to our ship?” She asked, “What is the matter?” The passenger told her that the ship was caught in a dangerous storm. The girl calmly replied: “You know, my father is the captain of this ship. He is not going to let it sink.” The girl’s faith in her father saved her from being a victim of fear at this crucial moment. The same is true of a religious person. He has the same childlike faith in his Creator, God Almighty. However, his is a faith of far greater intensity. When catastrophe threatens, he can say with a much stronger conviction that God Almighty is the captain of the ship of his life: He will never let it sink at any time or in any situation. God’s guidance brings man’s ship safely to the shore. Belief in God is the most essential thing for a man. Man is nothing without this belief.
