A Simple Truth

A simple truth

C. S. Lewis wrote,
“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.
God exists whether the individual wants to admit it or not.
Peter John Kreeft wrote,
“Atheism treats people cheaply. Also, it robs death of meaning, and if death has no meaning, how can life ultimately have meaning? Atheism cheapens everything it touches, look at the results of communism, the most powerful form of atheism on earth.
And in the end, when the atheist dies and encounters God instead of nothingness he had predicted he’ll recognize that atheism was a cheap answer because it refused the only thing that’s not cheap the God of infinite value”
                                          Peter John Kreeft ph.d 
The nice thing about God is that He gave man a freewill. In order to be truly free however God had to give man the right to believe what he wishes. And if the individual chooses not to believe in God that is their choice.
The bottom line is simple however.
Jesus said about himself,
“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.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. 
                                                                                                                               John 3:16-18
If what Jesus said is not true. If what Christians believe is not true that there is a God and Jesus Christ is God’s one and Only Son, then the unbeliever has nothing to fear.
If on the other hand Christians are correct in their beliefs then the non-believer has a great deal to fear.
Are you certain what you believe is true?
Please think about it.
