  Nature Tells You There's a God — Only Scripture Tells You Who He Is

  Aug 20, 202630 min

  How do we dig into who God actually is? In this episode of Clearview Today, we continue our Systematic Theology series by moving from yesterday's question — does God exist — to today's: who is He? Our inner sense tells us there's a God out there. It doesn't tell us His name, His character, or what He wants from us. For that, Scripture is essential. We walk through why the Bible simply assumes God's existence from its very first four words — "In the beginning, God" — and why nature itself, according to Romans 1:20 and Acts 14:17, testifies to a Creator without ever naming Him. Then we take on one of the hardest questions people ask: what about those who've never heard the gospel? Dr. Abidan Shah reframes the whole question — humanity does not seek God; God seeks humanity, knocking on every heart since Eden, and His plan for reaching the person searching in one century was often set in motion generations earlier. The episode closes with a story Dr. Shah has never fully told on the show before: his own father's search, growing up Muslim, watching his devout great-grandfather weep because Islam offers no assurance of salvation, wandering through Hinduism and Buddhism looking for answers, and finally opening a secondhand Bible to John 3:16 — where, as a student of mathematics, he saw the cross as a plus sign, the place where fallen humanity is attached to a holy God.

  How Do We Know That God Is Real?

  Aug 19, 202630 min

  Does God exist? It's the question that's been plaguing mankind since the very beginning. In this episode of Clearview Today, we launch a brand-new series — Systematic Theology — where over the next couple of months we'll dig into what we actually believe as Bible-believing Christians: God, sin, humanity, salvation, and the end times. And we start exactly where we should: does God exist, and how can we know? Dr. Abidan Shah lays out two reasons we know God is real: our inner sense, and Scripture. Romans 1:20 says God's invisible attributes are clearly seen in creation, so that no one is without excuse — meaning even the most convinced atheist knows, deep down, that God is there. We talk through why someone might suppress that knowledge, how one honest question can turn a self-proclaimed atheist into an agnostic in thirty seconds flat, and why the reason a thief can't find a policeman is the same reason someone actively avoiding God will never find Him. But an inner sense alone was never meant to save you. The episode closes on the harder truth: you can't get to God around Jesus, only through Him — because sin has broken the image we were made to bear, and only Christ can stand as the mediator and restore it. Scripture alone tells us what that inner sense cannot: that we need a Savior, and that Savior has already come.

  Love Is a Commitment, Not a Feeling

  Aug 17, 202630 min

  Everybody wants to be loved, and everybody wants to feel loved — but too few of us can even define what love actually is. In this episode of Clearview Today, we continue our Getting to Know God series with one of His most familiar and most misunderstood attributes: the love of God. We talk about why the pictures of love we absorb from movies, music, and novels are an incomplete picture at best — good writers who know how to pluck our heartstrings — and why the only place to find both the definition and the demonstration of real love is Scripture. Working through Ephesians, 1 John, and Jeremiah 31, we look at a God who chose us in love before the foundation of the world, who loves not because of anything we perform but simply because He is love, and whose love is everlasting — not infinite in quantity but in chronology, reaching back before time itself began. Along the way, the guys share personal stories of learning what love really is: Dr. Abidan Shah on the handshake with Nicole's father that showed him a love he couldn't explain, and the season in 1993 when his life fell apart and he surrendered it back to God; and a youth-camp night at fifteen when the words "God loves you" landed for the very first time. The episode closes where it has to — love is a commitment, not a feeling. Facts come first, faith follows facts, and feelings follow faith. Don't wait to feel it before you come to the God who has loved you all along.

  The Difference Between God's Grace and His Mercy

  Aug 14, 202630 min

  We treat grace and mercy like they're the same thing — but they're actually very different, and understanding the difference changes everything. In this episode of Clearview Today, we continue our Getting to Know God series with the grace of God, one of the communicable attributes He shares with us and calls us to reflect. We break down the three tiers of God's justice in the simplest possible terms: justice is getting what we deserve, mercy is not getting what we deserve, and grace is getting what we don't deserve. Grace is the good we never earned; mercy is the bad we never received. Dr. Abidan Shah illustrates it with a disobedient son who deserves discipline but gets lunch bought for him anyway — and then a milkshake on top. That milkshake is grace. We also tackle why grace is so hard for us to accept: we're raised to earn our keep, to never take a handout, and we carry that same works-based mindset straight to God, where it simply doesn't work. From there we go deeper — what it means to be "dead in trespasses and sins" and still able to receive the free gift, why grace was every bit as present in the Old Testament as the New (Noah, Moses, and the same unchanging Christ), and how the cross was the plan before Genesis 1:1. The episode closes on the most practical question of all: how do we live by grace, and extend to others the same grace God has lavished on us?

  Why God's Sovereignty Is the Real Antidote to Worry

  Aug 13, 202630 min

  If you struggle with fear, anxiety, stress, or worry, there's an antidote — and it's the sovereignty of God. In this episode of Clearview Today, we continue our Getting to Know God series with the truth that God is in control of everything: nothing happens that He does not either directly cause or consciously allow. We talk about why that truth, which should calm us, so often makes us uncomfortable instead — because it means relinquishing control and handing over the reins. We work through the antinomy of God's sovereignty and our free will, two parallel rails that run side by side without colliding: God is completely sovereign, and yet your choices genuinely matter. Dr. Abidan Shah shares the motto that carried him through 2020 — you cannot stop God from getting where He wants to go, so the only question is what you'll look like when He arrives — and we look at Job as the man who held onto God's sovereignty when everyone around him told him to let go. The conversation also tackles the hard questions head-on: if God is sovereign, do my prayers even matter? How do sovereignty and human responsibility both stay true, as they did at the cross? And why does tacking "according to Your will" onto every prayer sometimes reveal weak faith rather than humble submission? Through it all, one truth holds — God is sovereign, we are responsible, and His will is not something to reluctantly accept but something good, beautiful, and worth stepping toward in faith.
