1) The human soul exists (i.e., we exists).
2) Nothing exists without a sufficient reason for existence.
3) The reason for our existence must contained either in ourselves or else in another, diverse from ourselves.
4) The reason for our existence is not ourselves. Our nonexistence is possible or conceivable.
5) So the reason for our existence must be outside of ourselves.
6) One does not arrive at a sufficient reason for existence without reaching a being that has within
itself the reason for its existence. If it did not, then there must be a sufficient reason
for its existence beyond itself.
7) A being that has within itself for its own existence is a Necessary Being.
8) Therefore, there must be a Necessary Being beyond us that is the sufficient reason for our
existence. If there is not a Necessary Being beyond us, we would be Necessary Beings, having
the reason for own existence in ourselves.
9) It is logically impossible for a Necessary Being not to exist. Self-existence or ascetic flows
necessarily from the the nature of a Necessary Being.
10) Hence, this Necessary Being is identical with the self-existent God of Scripture.

Colossians 1:15-20
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
