It is my prayer that sooner or later even the worst skeptics will recognize and realize that God is good and has done great things in our lives most of which we are unaware though.
He is a gentleman and has given us free will and will not vilolate our rejection of Him.
Hell is God's way of saying to those who reject Him, "Thy will be done".
He is also a consuming fire. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. Jesus Christ's perfect life is available to all who are sincere to accept it deposited in our account so when God sees us, He doesn't see our sinful selves, but His Son's perfect life that He knew we could not live out in our fallen state.
But there is a catch. You have to give up your right to be god in your life and let God be God in your life.
He has plans for good for us, not to harm us, though it is painful at times and we will have more trouble, it will be well worth it in eternity.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but
to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
This is sometimes referred to as "the offense of the cross". Which is in line with Christ's teaching, that quite contrary to the world's view; "The one who is the least among you, he shall be the greatest in heaven".

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is
helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit
those who listen."
This command is right up there with the hardest commands to follow in our culture today. One that glorifies
profanity.
Funny thing the early Puritans were the ones who invented the term profanity. It started out as meaning any talking done outside of the church on Sundays as the people used to remain silent on the way, as they walked to church. Anyone talking in that progression of people was said to be profane.
In modern times, the term has a much narrower scope of meaning. Now the focus is on the words themselves and not on the activity they are associated with.
Not withstanding, the meaning of profanity still is speech that is out of place or inappropriate. Which is precisely what makes it so desirable to the natural man, or "human nature", as we like to call it today.

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in
our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Christ.
He gives beauty for ashes and just as He made light shine out of darkness, He can make good come from what seems like a dead, hopeless situation. So long as there is God, there is hope. |

The Lord Will Fight For You
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
|
Such a reassuring verse! To know that the Ruler of The universe cares about you, little, insignificant you,
(compared to His majesty and the universe).
Take heart! The King of kings and Lord of Lords has taken up your cause! But you must keep an open mind, and especially and open time frame. God is in not subject to time, but He knows you are and the only waiting you will do is that which is good for you and all others affected by your circumstances.
Even though it is about your circumstances, to God, it isn't all about you.
Be blessed beloved!
