Perhaps
In Proverbs we read,
"For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD,
and He examines all his paths."
Proverbs 5:21.
Whether we like to admit it or not everything we do is seen by God. It is something we must remember.
That being said I don’t see God as a big old man with a big stick ready to club us over the head if we do wrong. Quite the opposite. I see God as a God who loves each individual and gives them all the freedom in the world. A freedom that extends to not believing in Him.
The God I believe in is spoken of by Jesus in John 3:16,17, when Jesus states,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
The God I believe in is spoken of by the apostle Paul who said,
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.
The God I believe in asks us to have faith that He exists. 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.
And perhaps having faith in someone we cannot see is the hardest thing anyone can do. Which is perhaps why so many people don’t believe in God.
Do you believe in God?
Please think about it.
