Theme: The fool has said in his heart “There is no God”
Text: Psalm 53: 1
Our text
strongly states in the book of Psalm chapter 53, the verse 1 that “The fool has
said in His heart, “There is no God” .They are corrupt, and have done
abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.
We have
currently come to an era, where people have found a way of modernizing
everything they do, and has even gotten to the extent of a new fancy name called
“atheists”, a name for a class of people or a group of people, who have
purposed solely in their heart, to deny the existence of God.
And the most
interesting part of all these is that
they do believe that everything that has a name exists, that’s what some
will say but immediately you mention God, they say that one is a fabricated
name. My encounter with quite a number of these people brought my attention to
some important things I would like to discuss here:
Have you
ever wondered how things in this world came about. Yes, we know that this world
consists of natural and artificial things. We claim that artificial things are
made by God so natural things were made
by who? This is what I have been asking myself since I started this post. How
can animals and trees and seas and oceans and human beings be in existence
without being made? Yes animals and human beings are born whiles plants and
trees are planted, but there was a first of their kind, so with those firsts,
who made them? Who created them? Who designed them? A formulated postulate or
doctrine by these people is that human beings or let me say the world came into
existence through something they have termed as evolution, and these are people
who have gone deeper in education with some heavy titles in education and they
come out with this doctrine. My second question is “Why spending much time into disproving something that is non-existent
because you have already concluded He does not exist? “
And with
those who just live for nothing, they haven’t found out anything yet they also
claim in accordance to people who have spent time researching, that there is no
God. They claim they don’t believe in things they don’t see but yet they
believe in words, believe in love, believe in the existence of air and
etcetera. Yes those things gives you a feeling, love is a feeling, we also feel
air, and that is how we as Christians feel
the presence of God, we feel our God because He isn’t just a deity but He
dwells and fellowships with us in several ways. And if even you don’t believe I
won’t argue or be surprised because we are made to know in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 18 that “For the message of the cross
is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it
is the power of God.” And also in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 14 that “But
the natural man does not receive things from the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.”
What is then the message of the cross? The message of the cross starts
from the most quoted verse in the bible, John 3: 16 which says For God so loved
the world that He sent His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him,
should not perish but have everlasting life. Which was prophesied in the Old
books of Isaiah 6: 8 which says “Also I
heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for
Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me’.”
My message
is simple and clear: Why don’t you live
for something you don’t believe to later find out it’s true than to live for
something you believe to later find out it’s wrong.
