THERE’S NO GOD!
Capt. Ben Marler
Can you imagine anyone actually believing that there is no Supreme Being?
The truth of the matter is most people living in America act as if it was
true. Perhaps you do too. I sure hope not, but if you do, continue to read
and I am confident you will be on your knees seeking to know God today.
Why can I be so sure? Well for one it is dumb to think that at sometime in
the past two rocks flying together in space happened to collide and out
fell creation. I can look at a tiny ant and know there is a Creator or
Designer as this little creature is so complex that the rest of this
article could be used just to describe it. For instance, one morning as I
drank a glass of water I watched a tiny ant crawl across the counter. I
marveled at it’s ability and then it struck me, if I can not see it’s legs
how tiny must it’s intestines be? One of our hairs is many times larger in
diameter.
Primitive people believed in God and we can find it in the artifacts they
left behind. The only thing is they could not have known God Almighty as
He was not revealed to man until He spoke with Abraham some 6 thousand
years ago. If you read the book of Exodus in the Bible you will see He
spoke openly with Moses as He prepared him to lead the Israelites out of
Egypt to the promised land. During their journey He spoke face to face
with Moses.
When Jesus came to live with mankind He revealed the Father as never
before. He said, "when you see Me, you have seen the Father, for the
Father and I are "Am" One." Jesus said that all that He did was to do what
He saw the Father doing. If you read the four Gospel accounts of the life
of Jesus you will see the nature of the Creator. First and foremost He is
love or agape. Agape is unconditional love. He has decided to love you
whether or not you return it. The one thing about His agape is that it is
intended to change us into the people he intended in the first place.
If you read the paper you will soon see that we do not live as He has told
us. There is always consequences both in this life and in the next if we
disobey Him. Now if you don’t believe in Him you could care less what the
Bible commands. But, if you believe in God and His Only Begotten Son, the
Lord Jesus Christ and are not obeying Him or living for Him you will have
some explaining to do on Judgment Day. I personally believe that the ones
who disregard the Word of the Lord are not saved even if they live in a
church house. If you have been watching the news you know this is true.
Countless Catholic priest are being revealed as child molesters. Even in
the Protestant denominations we hear of blatant adultery and theft of
church funds.
These folks are in for severe judgment and I already hurt for them. Now if
they truly repent of these sins our gracious Heavenly Father will forgive
their sins and have them wiped clean out of the books to be opened on
Judgment day. Better yet, He said He would even forget them. Wow! I don’t
know about you but this thrills my soul as I have greatly sinned against
God in my early life. Now at 65 I have asked Him to kill me before I would
bring a reproach upon the Name of Jesus. I do not want to hurt Him
anymore.
Satan knows where I live and is constantly trying to trip me but I’ve
found that when I remember to put on the whole armor of God [Eph. 6] and
commit my life to Him using [Eph. 2:10] God is always there to shield me
from Satan’s ploys.
Did you know there are people who don’t believe in God but they believe in
the devil? This is mind boggling to me but there are groups who actually
worship this unclean and unholy fallen angel. The sad part is they will
have to stand in the burning lake called Hell with him forever. I have
tried to reach some who are in "his camp" and found it is a true waste of
time. The only way they can be won to Jesus is with prayer and a
commitment that says "God whatever it takes, please save him or her". This
may mean a horrible death fighting something like AIDS But in the end it
is worth it. Hell lasts forever and ever. No one is going to suffer long
here on Earth.
Do you know Jesus? Odds are you don’t. Most Christians only know about
Jesus. I have served the Lord for over 31 years and have met hundreds of
thousands of people up close and there are few who reveal Christ when you
share with them. Christianity is very simple and a good definition is,
"Christ within you the hope of Glory." It doesn’t matter how much you
believe in Jesus, Satan does that, but have you repented of your sins and
received Him into your heart by faith? I guarantee you religion has
replaced relationship in most churches.
Jesus said true religion was ministry to widows and orphans in their need
and He didn’t add anything to it. If we are in Christ and He is in us we
will become servants of the Lord or those who will receive a welcome on
Judgment Day. I challenge anyone to read Matt: 25 and come to a different
conclusion. We who have come to the Lord want to serve Him. It is not
work! We consider it a privilege to be used of Him to usher in His
Kingdom.
When you see Christians doing the things that the lost are doing you must
agree with me that they too do not believe in God. As a self check ask
yourself this questions. Am I living like I know that God is my Heavenly
Father? Do I seek Him in the mornings for fellowship? Do I read the Bible
daily or often? If you can not say yes to these simple questions isn’t
there reason to believe you don’t believe in Him either or act as if you
don’t?
Trust me in this! God is standing before you with open arms and will
accept you now but there is a time coming when He will close the door. It
could be today. Please don’t hesitate for a second, fall on your knees and
ask Him to forgive you and to send Jesus to receive you. The Holy Spirit
will come and exhale the breath of eternal life upon your lips and you can
have Him. Do it now please. If I can be of help don’t hesitate to contact
me.
In His Service,
