The Fool Hath Said . . . . . . . .

THERE IS NO GOD. . . . . . . . .

The Bible says:

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God”. Psalm 14:1A, ( King James Version ). I did not say that, folks! That was the one and only Most High God calling you a “fool” for failing to believe that He exists!

“THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God.” Psalm 14:1A ( Amplified Version ). Here God calls you an empty-headed fool!

Why? Everything you own and have has been given to you by God and yet you deny Him! 

He blessed you with life, yet you deny He exists. He blessed you with food, yet you deny He exists. He blessed you with a home, yet you deny He exists. He blessed you with a job, or jobless benefits to help you, yet you deny He exists. He blessed you with a family, yet you deny He exists. He blessed you with sight, with hearing, with a steady heartbeat, etc. The list can go on and on. After all, how do you think you got any of those things?

They were given to you by God! God created you in your mother's womb and put everything here that you would need to survive. Notice I said NEED, not WANT. Wants are those extra things that we really don't need, which wind up being clutter in the junk drawer or in the basement closet, after a while.  

Why does God call you a fool? He plainly put things before your face to show you that He exists. Take space and how the Milky Way Galaxy is set up. Number one, world renown astrologers and astronomers agree that we are merely one of "billions" of galaxies out there! If so, WHO put all of that out there?  

Who precisely hung each of the planets of our Milky Way Galaxy in place and told them to stay in their places? Ever wonder why the Sun is so far away from us? Did you know if it was tilted forward one fraction of an inch, we would all burn to a crisp? Yet we do not. Why? Clearly someone very intelligent and very powerful put all of this together and put it all into motion. And everything maintains order unless He tells them to move.

Now down to Earth. Ever wonder about the rain? The Bible says:

“That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matthew 5:45 ( King James Version )

“To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].” Matthew 5:45 ( Amplified Bible )

Why does God do that? Because the unbelievers ( the unjust ) get cold and hungry just like ( the just ) Christians. So God sends the sunshine down upon us all. Because without sunshine, this planet would turn into a giant ice ball and we would quickly die off. Why? We could not stand the cold and we would have nothing to eat or drink! You see how merciful God has been to you even though you refuse to believe in Him?  

Think of that the next time you eat a salad and consider the rain coming down to water the soil so you can have your endive, and green leaf lettuce. Or for grass to grow for the cow can eat and give milk so you can have cheese on your nachos. Or for grain to grow so you can have bread.

Ever wonder how some athletes are so talented? Some pitchers have been clocked at throwing a ball at 95 miles per hour! How did that happen? God blessed that particular athlete with that talent! Sure there are coaches who recognized the talent and worked with the person to hone the talent, but it was God, who gave the increase. 

And whatever you are talented with, painting, photography, writing, computers, math, science, music, singing, etc. Whatever they are, those talents were given to you by God, because He knew they would be needed by you and others around you.  Psssst!  The real purpose of these talents are to glorify His Kingdom, but you can not do that without first turning your life over to Christ.

Likewise, God gave His Only Begotten Son. Why? Though Human Beings ares a talented and creative, but,  he was not ( and would never be ) talented and creative enough to pay for the wages of sin. 

The wages of sin is death and they had to be paid by a perfect and spotless lamb. Not like the lambs of Old Testament fame, where crooked high priests brought the lame, blind, spotted and lambs with broken legs before a Most Holy God. God's only Son saw the need and said: “Prepare me a body.” and The Bible further says:

John 1 (Amplified Bible)

1.  IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word ([a]Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [b]Himself.(A)

2.  He was present originally with God.

3.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.

4.  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

5.  And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].

6.  There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.(B)

7.  This man came to witness, that he might testify of the Light, that all men might believe in it [adhere to it, trust it, and rely upon it] through him.

8.  He was not the Light himself, but came that he might bear witness regarding the Light.

9.  There it was--the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person.(C)

10.  He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].

11.  He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own--His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him.

12.  But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.

13.  Who owe their birth neither to [c]bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]

14.  And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.

Jesus Christ a sinless man, came down from heaven, to live among and die for His creation. Because He knew they so desperately needed a Savior from their sins. 

He GAVE His all for you. Won't you come to Him? There is room at the cross for more. . . . . . . . .
