"Happily Ever After"—The Ending God Promises His Followers

Most fictional stories involve good overcoming evil, and there's actually a biblical reason for the authors' inner sense of justice.

Have you ever noticed that we like stories with “happily ever after” endings? 

Children's books always end with good people rewarded and bad people punished. Adult stories are more complex, but the most popular fiction resolves in ways that satisfy our inner sense of justice.

This is one of many proofs that God exists. And it's a confirmation that He has given every man an understanding of right and wrong.

Whenever an unbeliever behaves morally, writes about justice, or shows genuine concern for injustice, he's testifying to God's existence. 

“When Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them” (Romans 2:14-15).

Good values wouldn't exist if we were simply products of evolution. 

Every man longs for a “happily ever after” conclusion, and Christians understand that those who repent and follow Christ have a wonderful end to our story. 

This should motivate us to share this good news with others!
