Topical Encyclopedia The term "there's" is a contraction of "there is" or "there has," commonly used in English to denote existence or presence. While the contraction itself does not appear in the Bible, the concept of existence and presence is deeply rooted in biblical theology and narrative. The Bible frequently addresses the presence of God, the existence of creation, and the reality of spiritual truths.Existence of God The Bible begins with the affirmation of God's existence and creative power: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). This foundational statement sets the stage for the entire biblical narrative, emphasizing that God is the ultimate source of all that exists. The existence of God is further affirmed in passages such as Psalm 19:1, which declares, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." Presence of God The presence of God is a central theme throughout Scripture. In the Old Testament, God's presence is often associated with specific locations, such as the Tabernacle or the Temple. For example, Exodus 25:8 states, "Then have them make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them." This dwelling among His people signifies God's desire to be present with humanity. In the New Testament, the presence of God is most fully realized in the person of Jesus Christ. John 1:14 affirms, "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us." Jesus' incarnation is the ultimate expression of God's presence with His people, fulfilling the prophecy of Immanuel, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Existence of Creation The Bible also speaks to the existence of creation as a testament to God's power and majesty. Romans 1:20 states, "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This passage underscores the idea that creation itself bears witness to the existence and attributes of God. Spiritual Realities Beyond the physical realm, the Bible affirms the existence of spiritual realities. Ephesians 6:12 reminds believers, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This acknowledgment of spiritual forces highlights the Bible's teaching on the unseen realities that influence the world. Eternal Life and Judgment The Bible also addresses the existence of eternal life and judgment. John 3:16 offers the promise of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Conversely, the reality of judgment is affirmed in passages like Revelation 20:12, which describes the final judgment: "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened." In summary, while the contraction "there's" is not found in the biblical text, the themes of existence and presence are integral to the Bible's message, affirming the reality of God, creation, spiritual truths, and the eternal destinies of humanity.
