A Time is Coming
The Psalmist writes,
There are many in the world today both individuals, and governments, who refuse to accept the fact that God exists. Ultimately this means nothing. As C. S. Lewis states,
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain.
There are many in the world today who would say why hasn’t God shown Himself to mankind. The answer is simple. He has. The Psalmist tells us,
Having said that everyone in the world will one day see God face to face. In the meantime He is simply giving each individual the opportunity to believe in Him.
Billy Graham the American evangelist said,
“The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation... But there will come a time when it will be too late for you." Billy Graham
The apostle Peter wrote,
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” 2 Peter 3:9,10.
Question: Do you believe in God?
The choice to believe in God or not is yours. No one can, or should, impose their beliefs on you. You have a freewill to choose what you wish to believe.
All I would ask is that you at least take time to read the New Testament and decide for yourself if God is real.
Please think about it.
The Psalmist writes,
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 46:10.
Here the Psalmist tells us that ultimately God will be exalted among the nations. That God will be exalted throughout the earth.There are many in the world today both individuals, and governments, who refuse to accept the fact that God exists. Ultimately this means nothing. As C. S. Lewis states,
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain.
There are many in the world today who would say why hasn’t God shown Himself to mankind. The answer is simple. He has. The Psalmist tells us,
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.”
Psalm 19:1-3.
That being said God wants us to have faith in Him. The writer of Hebrews states,
“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.
Faith in someone or something unseen, as I have written in previous blog posts can be very difficult for some people. Yet God knows people who have faith in anything are the strongest followers.Having said that everyone in the world will one day see God face to face. In the meantime He is simply giving each individual the opportunity to believe in Him.
