Gregory of Nyssa once said, “...finding God consists in endlessly seeking God.” Do you think trying to find God through the arguments or proofs is an essential part in seeking God? Why or why not?

Gregory of Nyssa once said, “...finding God consists in endlessly seeking God.” In other words, our search for God is never-ending, infinite. Our continuous search for God is like a rainbow. We know that it is existing because we can see it. However, we can never find out where is its beginning and end. We cannot find the endpoints of a rainbow. Like God's existence, we know deep within us that He is existing because of our faith. But when we are asked to prove His existence, it is very difficult to do. Despite our faith in Him and His existence, we are still caught in those moments that we cannot help but question ourselves because we cannot prove God. We, who has faith, cannot strongly and wholly prove God's existence. But come to think of it, this is exactly why we have faith because amidst the fact that we have no strong evidence to prove God exists, we continue to believe in Him and His existence.

We must be reminded that God's nature is infinite, his being, power, and wisdom. We cannot grasp Him through our senses. So, if we seek God, we must not limit our search through our physical senses. Instead, we must broaden our scope for finding Him. Our rationality for our beliefs in Him should be greater than ourselves even if it will still never be enough. Similarly, our great thinkers provided us with different arguments and proofs on God's existence. These have been made beyond their physical senses. They used the highest form of intellect possible to argue and prove His existence. They tried to grasp God's infinity in the best and greatest way the human intellect can comprehend.

Nevertheless, arguments and proofs are an essential part in seeking God. These arguments and proofs aid and guide us in seeking God. Again, the search for God is infinite. And, this is why we have faith because we chose to believe in the Infinite. We still chose to believe in God even after understanding the proofs and arguments about His existence. Even if it is impossible and beyond the human intellect to understand God, we tried to move closer to His infinity by learning these arguments and proofs rather than simply believing in Him without proper comprehension and action.
