In Romans chapter 1 God says everyone knows He exists because they can see the creation, but some people suppress that knowledge.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. - Romans 1:18-22
God says that we all know He exists because: it is evident to us, because for God has made evident. How does He do that? We can clearly see, and understand there is a God, through seeing what God has created.
The principle is... if we see a painting, we know there is a painter. If we see a building, we know there is a builder. It's called the law of causality. If something has a beginning, it has a cause. We see the creation, we know there is a creator... God is real. And we have no excuse for denying Him.
So, if the law of causality says that everything that exists has a cause, who created God? Aha... be careful. That's not what the Law of Causality says. The Law of Causality says that everything that has a beginning has a cause. Everything in the universe has a beginning. That means it all has a cause. God does not have a beginning. As the cause that created time, God exists outside of time and is thus without a beginning. He is the uncaused cause.

Many people, when they die, will stand before Jesus and say:
Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? - Matthew 7:22
And Jesus will say to them:
I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. - Matthew 7:23
Get your Bible out and read Matthew 7:21-23. These are some of the most frightening verses in the Bible.
They describe people who believe with all their heart that they are saved. They have no doubt that they know Jesus and they've done many great things that prove this is true. Put Jesus says, 'Depart from me...' He doesn't know them.
Are you truly trusting Jesus? Scripture says to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Have you done that?
Do you read your Bible regularly? Do you fear false teaching? Are you growing in your obedience to God? Are you growing in your understanding of what God wants? Do you regularly share the good news about Jesus with others?
