A Short Message for Lost Souls
A short message for lost souls.
Life after death is proven because of the proof of Jesus' resurrection, which atheists still can't find a naturalistic explanation to account for the data even most skeptics concede: 1) the disciples truly believed they saw Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings, 2) people don't willingly die for a lie, and 3) group hallucinations are impossible. Simple psychology doesn't need two millennia to explain.
If you were to give into the evidence no matter how uncomfortable that makes you feel or what you think you might have to give up, this is the beginning of intellectual honesty and coming to God with an honest heart. Since nature needs a cause and can't start up all by itself, neither can it always have been existing for mankind would not still be sinning along the exponential progression we are clearly on (approximated into that alleged past eternity), nor can something come from nothing, that which does not exist. So we know the uncreated Creator created and He did so from out of Himself. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Homes). "If all known possibilities are impossible, what we had deemed impossible must be true" (Spock on Star Trek).
It's not enough to believe the uncreated Creator exists who was alone from everlasting like Antony Flew finally realized and Satan has always known. You must receive God as He really is, appreciating the fact you are a sinner, sin leads to death and the second death which is Hell. Even one tiny little sin eternally separates you from God for God is infinitely great. If you don't have the humility to realize this obvious fact, your arrogance, self-centeredness and self-exaltation like that of Satan is your pride that will send you to perdition to be with the Devil, his fallen angels and demons for all eternity without any presence of God and the Lamb. Romans 1.20 says we are all "without excuse"; therefore, we have all received the sufficient grace of God in our God-consciousness so it is not so much about evidence, because the evidence is abundant, but is a matter of your heart, the "I". Do you want to be with God or not? Do you accept all things sum up in Christ or not?
Only by coming to the cross as a helpless sinner to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior who paid for the sins of the whole world, may you be saved. You must appropriate His propitiation for your sins. As much as God does this for us so we can be completely forgiven and have power over the flesh of our old man by dying on the cross with Christ (flesh that is dead can't operate), He does it for Himself so we can come before the High Priest with the robe of righteousness that is in Christ. We must be presentable to God. You can't come before the High Priest naked, clothed in garbs of sin. God gains no enjoyment in those who remain independent, hostile and disobedient to His will. Though Christians still sin and can be selfish, they are on the road to being perfected by relying on God to prepare us for the New City and New Earth. No man can come to the Father except by the Son and there is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved than that of Jesus Christ. If you are unwilling to confess the Lord Jesus before others, He will deny you before the Father in Heaven. Even if someone on a remote island rejected the idols of the people worshiped around him and simply accepted the One True God who created the mountains and the stars, surely if he was shown the Word of God that person would believe in Christ Jesus for His salvation. God takes this into account for He is a just and righteous God. You wouldn't want anything less.
God created this universe and man made in His image for the sole purpose to have fellowship with us for eternity, but the first God-conscious man fell from grace and brought sin into all mankind, so that the only solution was for God to pay the ransom.
Logically and intuitively, you know this is true just in your own experience without knowing anything else. Sin has a tendency to get punished and you sense its slow pull towards death. When you don't abide in your own conscience, you reap the repercussions of guilt, regret and sorrow. If you don't have these feelings anymore then realize how seared your conscience has become. You're dead inside. Your spirit is dead to God. The Bible is the redemptive design to reunite you back to God whosoever is willing. When you did something wrong and may have seemed like you got away with, our experience tells us more often than not, that sin catches up with us. And what doesn't get paid for in this life gets paid for in eternity. The greatest sin of all is rejecting your Creator. It takes a very obnoxious, belligerent, self-involved person to be an agnostic or atheist or agtheist.
My prayers go out to you. Amen.
p.s. the reason you can't let go of your head's thoughts is because you are in a sinner's head. Don't underestimate how convoluted your thinking has become. Your innerman is dead and insensitive.
