Faith 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.
Do you believe in God? I have heard many ardent atheist state there is no God and speak loudly against God. Many sadly ridicule those who believe in God.
If you do not believe in God that’s your right. However I would ask are you certain, truly certain there is no God?
Like Pascal said, “faith cannot be proved” but having faith in God even if He does not exist cannot hurt. After all to state the obvious something that does not exist cannot hurt you.
Following God who has set before every person a set of morals that make life better both for the individual and society as a whole is a good thing even if he doesn’t exist.
On the other hand if God does exist and I as a Christian truly believe this. Then those who do not believe in Him have a problem. Why would God let someone into heaven who does not believe in Him.
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.
We in this life are given a choice. We can act in faith and believe in God or we can reject God completely there is no middle ground.
The writer of Hebrews tells us,
Please think about it.
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1

The writer of Hebrews tells us,
“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
What I would ask you the reader be you an Atheist, a Christian or someone of another faith, is read at least the New Testament and see what believers in Jesus said and taught about Him.Please think about it.
