Failure to recognize God
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
The Bible does not debate the existence of God. It was written to believers who accept by faith God exists. Therefore no explanation is necessary.
The writer of Hebrews stating,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
Abba Hillel Silver said this about God and we humans. He wrote,
"Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority." Abba Hillel Silver.
Without the recognition of God or failure of a society to fear God bad things happen. We only have to look at Nazi Germany under Hitler and his henchmen. These men and those who followed them did not fear God. Which ultimately led to the death of sixty plus million deaths in the worst conflagration in human history.
In Ecclesiastes we read.
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
So when you stand before God what will He say to you?
Please think about it.
