Voltaire was wrong

Voltaire said if there was no God, we would have to invent one. No doubt he meant that only an intelligent designer God, makes sense of the intricate balance of the solar system, the perfect ecological systems of the world, and the fantastic design of the human body.  To say nothing of the moral and spiritual nature of man.

But that's only half the truth, this God would have to be a good God, for no person lives above their view of God.  If God was not loving, faithful and righteous, life on earth would be a high-risk hell. Only if God is love would people know to act with respect and honour towards one another. Only if God is righteous would people know to not steal, cheat,  murder their neighbour or injure their families. Only if God is faithful in relationships with His creation would people also form faithful covenant relationships like marriage. (Marriage conveys hundreds of benefits and protections not afforded to cohabitating couples. Married couples tend toward greater financial advancement and better health. Married couples also report higher trust, happiness and satisfaction in their relationships compared to unmarried cohabitating partners. Cohabiting men are four times more likely to cheat than husbands, and cohabiting women are eight times more likely to cheat than wives. The Pew Analysis. 21 Apr 2024.)

Only this type of loving, righteous and covenant-making God, would inspire men to love mercy, act justly and increase sexual fidelity, and family stability, through permanent romantic relationships.

 Of course, the most helpful thing God could do would be to come to earth to reveal Himself and show us how we are to live. And the greatest thing He could do to reveal a God-sized love, would be to bear the punishment that we all deserve for falling short, so that whoever believes on Him as Lord and Saviour should not perish, but have everlasting life with Him.

Praise Jesus this God does exist.  We don't need to invent Him we need to invoke Him and live like Him.
