God has made Himself known to everyone. We see Him in creation–in the intricacy of a tiny unfurling leaf or a honey bee’s busyness or a rolling storm cloud or a newborn baby’s perfectly formed fingers and toes. He makes Himself known in the unexpected kindness from a stranger or the supernatural strength to endure unimaginable loss or a breath of hope when it seems all hope is gone. God is REAL, and no matter how powerful the man who says otherwise, that man will one day face God’s wrath for denying Him. Those who blatantly speak against Him, who lead others to dismiss Him, are marching a very dangerous path. I shudder to think of standing before a mighty God at the end of a life and realizing it’s now too late. Godless acts on earth will be met with righteous judgment. While we have breath, we need to recognize His presence and, in true repentance, turn away from sin and acknowledge His Son. All who believe will be received. I’ve seen Him. I’ve experienced His presence. Yes, I believe!
