LIVING WITHOUT GOD

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1 ESV)

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. (Romans 1:18-19 ESV)

“The atheist can’t find God for the same reason that a thief can’t find a policeman.” (Author Unknown) All human beings know that God exists. However, acknowledging the existence of God inevitably leads to understanding that we are accountable to Him. Nevertheless, we choose to rebel against the very notion of being answerable God. We choose, instead, to suppress God’s existence because we reject His sovereign rule over us.

“Atheism is a crutch for those who cannot bear the reality of God.” (Tom Stoppard) Natural man’s worst nightmare is the existence of an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnificent God who is perfectly holy, righteous and just. Natural man fears the light of God’s presence and chooses to hide in the darkness.
