I Dare You!
Regarding those who say there is no God, the Scripture calls them fools. (See Psalm 14:1.) As harsh as that may sound, it is a clear warning to carefully consider our words before we boast that we have no need of God in our lives.
Psalm 19:1 would argue: “The heavens are telling of the glory of God, and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day (it) pours forth speech, and night to night (it) reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words (enough to declare it). Their voice is not heard, their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world.” (Author paraphrase.)
Even those who claim to be atheists can’t help but marvel at sunsets, rainbows, colors, the beauty of nature, and mountains and oceans, and the Grand Canyon, to name just a few. And yet they deny the Creator, God.
Scripture goes on to say that if we fail to acknowledge Him, even the rocks will cry out with praise to the One true God.
Lest we think otherwise, what we see here and now is just a mirage, a temporary reality at best. The reality of realities is taking place in the third heaven, where spiritual warfare goes on day and night. And heaven and hell are real places where real people go after their vapor of a life has ended.
Consider this: those who have drilled deep into the bowels of the earth searching for oil have heard the agonizing screams and groans of those who suffer eternally in hell.
To those who deny the existence of God, I challenge them to search the Scripture to prove their point. Take me up on the challenge and prove me wrong. I dare you…
Because of His great love,
