The fool that says there is no God has given up any hope of redemption for God’s personage is the only way of obtaining redemption. If God does not exist than there is no possible way of obtaining forgiveness. So many say that you cannot prove there is a God. If you mean that you will not believe unless you visually see His image, you are right. Proof of God exists in all of His creation and to refuse to accept this fact is total foolishness. The Bible says that if we as man would look upon a holy God in that instant we would surely die because we as an unholy, sin defiled man cannot look upon a holy, pure God. That would seem to mean that if you could not believe without seeing Him, you would be doomed because you would be dead the very moment you saw Him, that leaves no time for repentance. This is another reason that the idea of many, to wait until the last moment to accept Him, is foolish. When God comes to get His children it will be in a moment as the Bible says, in the twinkling of an eye”, there will be no time to accept Him. Anyone that does not want to give up their worldly living thinking it to be the most rewarding lifestyle will not be ready and waiting for God’s soon appearance. By the time that they realize what has happened, it will all be over and they will have been left behind. God has chosen to accept us by our faith in Him and no matter if we can see Him or not, we can feel his presence inside us when we choose to believe. What’s better, to see the image of God or to feel his daily presence living within you? While I’m sure being able to see him would be an awesome sight unlike any other, I know that feeling his presence living within me is far more beneficial. Living within me I gain his strength, I feel his power that he provides me while I walk every step with him on my long journey home. He is leading me; I am given his peace and joy while I follow Him. When He lives within me I can never die, I am given eternal life through the very presence of Him living within me; I have the blessed assurance that I will never have to be alone. One day I will be able to see Him and even though I wish that day were today, I am at ease knowing that for now He is alive and that He, in the presence of the Holy Spirit lives within me.
