What does the Bible say about the existence of God?

The existence of God is presented in the Bible as a foundational truth, beginning with Genesis 1:1, which states, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.' This declaration assumes an inherent awareness of God among all men and is not argued or proven but proclaimed. John L. Dagg emphasizes that the volume of revelation, both in nature and Scripture, serves as independent proof of God’s existence. The natural world, along with the conscience of man, confirms this existence, which is known by all through general revelation, yet it alone cannot lead to salvation without the specific revelation found in Christ.
