By John Stenen In Romans chapter one, God tells us that He has put it in the heart of every man to know there is a God. I do not believe there are atheists. They may claim to be, but they are simply denying the reality of God, ignoring Him, rejecting Him, and worshipping the creation rather than the Creator. Romans 1:18,19 says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.” Those who reject Jesus suppress the truth! If they can convince themselves there is no God, no judgment, no hell; they can then survive until they have their second heart attack, then they usually cry out to God. But remember, we don’t know when Jesus is coming for those who belong to Him, but we also don’t know when we may die. Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost. If that is you, I invite you to receive Him today before it is too late. God bless.
