The Earth is the Lord's

The Earth is the Lord's
“The earth is the LORD'S, and everything in it, 
the world, and all who live in it;
 for he founded it upon the seas 
and established it upon the waters” 
Psalms 24:1,2.
I believe the word of the Psalmist. At the same time I respect the views of the Atheist who does not believe it. Who believe God does not exist and this world is all we have.
My question always to any Atheist I meet is, are you sure in your faith? Because Atheism is as much a faith as Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. In order to be an Atheist you must have faith that God is nowhere to be found even in the one place you cannot go, and live to tell about it, beyond the grave.
C. S. Lewis said
“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 that is what I and billions more people believe. To say God does not believe is to say the majority of people who have ever lived are delusional. People have always believed there is a God and an after life.
The ancient Britains and many other cultures placed grave goods with the dead goods they thought they might need in the after life. The Egyptians built pyramids. Any culture that can build structures like the pyramids are not idiots. The Egyptians were an educated and cultured people who believed in an after life and god’s.
I believe God has put into the hearts of all men knowledge that He exists. Sadly however many refuse to acknowledge that God exists.
 Again that is their choice. But again I ask the question of anyone who reads this who does not believe in God. Are you sure? Are you sure you and are willing to risk your eternal resting place on your beliefs? I as a Christian am.
Jesus speaking of himself said,
“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
Please think about it.
