God Is. Christians Don't Have To Prove Anything To Atheists And Scoffers. by Lennox13(m): 7:24am On Jul 04, 2009
Many Christians get shaken up by the latest big words and fancy ideas coming from dead souls called atheists and scoffers. This ought not to be. Romans chapter 1 tells us that they KNOW God is. Yes, yes, some of them have lied to themselves so many times that they begin to believe there is no God--BUT--things like guilt, hurt, hatred, despondency, need, and emptiness still plague these people. Their emotions, desires and actions cannot be adequately explained through their evolutionary world view. It's hard on 'em to figure it all out. Psychiatrists are making a killing.
Let's look at Romans chapter 1:

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Now see there? The Bible tells us all about the scoffer and the atheist. They KNOW He is real. So next time somebody gets in your face about YOUR God, there is no need to be shaken in mind. Just give them the reason for the hope that lieth within you--Christ crucified and risen. If they don't want to hear it, just shake the dust off of your feet and move on. There is somebody that wants to hear.

A couple of things to think about,

[1] The atheist comes to you with a presupposition that there is no God. In so doing, he goes against the grain of the majority of mankind from the very beginning of time. People have been worshipping God for thousands of years and the maverick atheist says God ain't real--is not the burden of proof on him to show that past, present and future multitudes are wrong?

[2] Given that God simply is (He's the I am) why argue an already established fact? Evolutionists are just as wrong as the day is long but they start from the position that evolution is true and that God has nothing to do with creation. They do not argue this. Why then do we Christians feel that we must prove God's existence to evil men? That is ridiculous when you think about it. Don't let scoffers get you on the ropes. The Bible says, "The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous is as bold as a lion." I love that verse. Give 'em the old time gospel.

Conclusion of the Matter
If you are a scoffer or an atheist, you have NOT defeated the word of God with your big words and ideas, you have condemned yourself! Repent while you have hope or you will perish. When you die, it will be everlasting too late.
The wrath of God is hanging over your head like a storm cloud. It's there when you lay down, when you wake up, when you are working, having lunch with friends, going on a trip--everywhere you go, that wrath goes with you.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations."
--Elton Trueblood



A skeptic writes that he needs some proof to believe the claims of Christ:

"It is hard to sell something that hasn't been seen. Seeing is believing and a picture is worth a thousand words."
Jesus answers in Matthew 12:39-40:

An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days, and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jesus rose from the dead--it's the only sign you'll get as an unbeliever.


Unbeliever, there is a limit to what you can understand right now because you are unregenerate and in your sins (I Corinthians 2:14). The wrath of a holy God abideth upon you (John 3:36) and the gates of hell want you there for eternal destruction. Oh, open your eyes and see! Jesus is good and kind and came from His dwelling place on high to succour you from that torment.

You need to turn from your sins and say "Yes" to your Creator, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:16), for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shalt be saved (Romans 10:9, 13). He left His throne on High to die--FOR YOU. Be washed in His blood. Be cleansed. Come to Jesus and get some rest. Be born again. God will be your Father and you will have a good understanding as you walk with Him. His Holy Spirit will guide and lead you through this life and for all eternity.

Jesus is everything that can be desired and all that any sane person could want--and more. The Lily of the Valley, the Everlasting God, the Eternal Word, Succourer, Saviour, Creator, Protector, Lord. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord--that includes Satan, every devil, every false religious follower, every secular humanist, and every scoffer as well as those of us who will be shouting "Glory, Hallelujah! Blessed be the Name of the Lord!"

If you don't repent you will perish. That is a sure thing. It is most sure. God has been merciful to you and let you live another day to repent. Please don't die without Jesus.
