Who's the fool?

  Who’s the fool?

The Psalmist writes,

"The fool says in his heart, 

"There is no God." 

                                 Psalm 14:1.

The question comes down to who’s truly the fool? Those who believe in God or those who do not believe in God.

Blaise Pascal wrote,

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

Please think about it.

He has set a day

  He has set a day

In the book of Acts we read the apostle Paul speaking about Jesus as saying,

"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.  

For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead." Acts 17:30,31.

Billy Graham the late American evangelist once 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.

Whether you believe the Bible or not, is your choice but my advice to you would be make sure you are truly certain that you are right.

Blaise Pascal wrote,

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

Gods existence

 Gods existence 

In the book of Genesis we read,

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.

The bible never argues when it comes to God. It was written to believers in God and believers need no explanation.

There are many in the world today that do not believe in God. There are many Atheist governments that do not believe there is a God. Yet they put Christians in prison for believing in Him. Someone they say does not exist. And if something does not exist it cannot be a threat can it?

C. S. Lewis stated,

“Atheist express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist,” C. S. Lewis.

Stephen Hawking perhaps one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century said,

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us" Stephen Hawking.

Hawking also noted,

“It would be difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of God who intended to create beings like us" Stephen Hawking.

William Philips, Nobel prize winning Physicist said,

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it"William Philips.

Werner Heisenberg, father of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel prize winner in physics noted,

“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,

but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you"Werner Heisenberg.

Perhaps the reason Atheist and Atheist governments speak out against those who believe in The Lord God Almighty is that deep down they know God exists.

Blaise Pascal said,

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

Ultimately the wager Pascal talks about will be determined for each of us upon our death. By then to my way of thinking it, will, for many be too late. They will have placed the wrong bet.

Please think about it.

Place your bet

Place your bet
The apostle Paul writing to Timothy said,
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17.
As a believer in Christ Jesus, I believe there is a God. It’s that simple. As a result I will honour Him in all I do. I will praise him and glorify His name. I will as the psalmist states,

“Praise God in his sanctuary; 

praise him in his mighty heavens. 

Praise him for his acts of power; 

praise him for his surpassing greatness. 

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, 

praise him with the harp and lyre, 

praise him with tambourine and dancing, 

praise him with the strings and flute, 

praise him with the clash of cymbals, 

praise him with resounding cymbals. 

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 

Praise the LORD.” 

                           Psalm 150.

Those who do not believe in God may think I’m foolish, but so be it. In worshipping God I have lost nothing but will one day receive eternal life.
As Blaise Pascal put it.
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.
So where do you place your bet?
Please think about it.

Do you?

Do you?
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.

Having faith in someone or something is perhaps the hardest thing a person can do. Scientist do it all the time. They observe things then make an hypothesis. Quite often it is many years before that hypothesis is proven or disproved. Some of Einstein’s theories were not proven until after his death.
So it is with God. Whether you believe in God or not, no one can know for sure if God exists for certain until after their death. That being said you must make your decision about God in this life.
The writer of Hebrews states,
“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.
So the question becomes. Do you believe in God.
Blaise Pascal said,
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.
