So You Don't Believe There Is A God?

So you don't believe there is a God! So what? Do you think that is going to

put God out of business? The Bible says, "For what if some did not believe?

Shall their unbelief make the faith (literally "faithfulness") of God without

effect? God forbid" (Romans 3:3,4). God didn't consult you when He created

this world, and if you insist on turning your back on Him He might do some

other things without your approval.

I suppose that if you don't believe there is a God, you don't believe there is

a Heaven or a Hell, either. So what? God says that all unbelievers will be

cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15, Revelation 21:8). If you go on

rejecting God, and end up in the lake of fire, you will probably be ready to

admit that you made a mistake, but it won't do you much good then.

The Bible says, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the

judgment" (Hebrews 9:27) - Maybe you don't believe it. You are going to die

anyway. You are going to come up for judgment, too. God's Word will not fail

just because you prefer not to believe it. And that judgment will be according

to His word, "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), and "The soul that

sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4).

Now if that was all I had to tell you, I wouldn't bother you. You would find

that out all too soon, anyway. What I really want to tell you is that "while

we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "God so loved the

world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him

should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Now there is no reason for anyone to remain in doubt about this. Jesus said

that if any man was willing to do His will he would know whether His teaching

was really from God as He claimed, or whether He was just an imposter (John

7:17). Believing in Christ isn't just stepping into the dark. A man who could

calm the storm with his word, and call a man back from the grave would be

worth listening to. He did it! Lots of people today would like to see a man

who could feed five thousand people with a boy's lunch. He did it! A man who

could live a perfect life, and then come out of the grave after he had been

dead and buried ought to know something about life and death and life after

death. Jesus Christ is that One!

It's only reasonable to trust Him when He comes with credentials like that and

says, "this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the

Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up

at the last day" (John 6:40), and, "him that cometh to me I will in no wise

cast out" (John 6:37). How about you? Will you trust Him now? "As many as

received Him, to them gave He gave power to become the sons of God" (John

1:12).
