I had the privilege today to meet an atheist. The atheist
didn't have horns or fangs. The atheist didn't have a secret wish to kill
me. The atheist seemed fairly normal until the conversation turned to God
and Christians. Until that point in time I had no idea that this person was an
atheist.
This person used to think that there was a God and a Savior but
not anymore. This person stated that it was through reading the Bible that lead
to the decision that there is no God. It is the belief of this person
that everybody is deceived and that when the end of life comes the dying
person's body will be recycled. I was told to read the Bible and I would
discover the truth. The truth that there is no God.
I spoke to this person and I tried to tell of Jesus and God but to
no avail. I tried to speak of God's grace and of feeling God in my life,
even the times of feeling Him so close that I could feel His breath. My
words fell on unbelieving ears. I was told that was just my gut speaking.
If this person should somehow happen to discover my blog I would
like to tell that person; my gut tells me that Jesus died on the cross for me
and for you. My gut tells me that my
body may be recycled back to dust (until rapture) but my soul will meet Jesus.
My gut tells me that the more that I read the Bible the more that I know
my Lord and Savior. My gut tells me that I will live in heaven forever with my
Lord. My gut tells me that those that don't accept this free gift will
not be in heaven but in hell.
My prayer for this atheist is that the truth will be found! The truth of Jesus!
John 12:46-48
New King James
Version (NKJV)
46 I have come as a
light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My
words and does not believe,[a] I do not judge him; for I did not come
to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does
not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken
will judge him in the last day.
