You don't need a god you can see - you need the real God who can always see you (Proverbs 15:3). By nature unregenerate man exchanges the truth of God for a lie, and worships created things and not their good and holy Creator. The atheist doesn't know himself, so he can never know his Maker. The atheist's pride keeps him from bowing down to worship the Crucified Creator in humble grateful adoration, with a joyful but tender fear. Atheists adore the wisdom of men, Christians adore the wisdom of God. Only the wounds and blood of Jesus can cure you of the love of sin. The main consideration with atheists is, what they shall eat, or what they shall drink, or how they shall be clothed, and they are always watching to see what is the best way to go in reference to temporal matters. The atheist lives for the shadows and bubbles of time. The atheist desires to be his own savior and god - this is Satanic. The atheist fears the moral effect that the word and Gospel of God may have on his immoral soul, he desperately hugs his sins which he has lived in and loved for years. Self-exaltation is the atheist's main object of life, and self-preservation is his main motive.
Come over to the winning side - Believe the simple and wondrous story of the Cross - How that the God of heaven became a man who lived and loved, and then bled and died to save sinners; Christ the Son of God was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only Messiah. Free grace, eternal dying love, and the free pardon of sin by divine blood is the essence of the Gospel. Jesus was tender and kind, and willing to live and die for others. Why won't you trust your soul with HIM and become absolutely dependent upon His grace? If you continue to reject Christ, it is absolutely certain you must perish in the Lake of Fire. Stop listening to Satan's lie - Evolution. The self-made man will never worship and adore His Creator. The Christian adores the Son of God, he reverences and remembers the word of God. The New Birth (John 3:7) is absolutely necessary, and it is absolutely impossible to you, unless the Spirit of God regenerates you. Come to the Cross and find mercy in the Blood of the Redeemer.
The atheist exalts man, but the Christian exalts the God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is absolutely useless to trust your good works to merit your salvation. Your good works are less than useless. If you would be save by works, you must be absolutely perfect, and you know that is impossible, for you are a sinner. Look only to the Great Sin-Bearer who made a full, complete, eternal, and absolutely acceptable Blood Atonement for human sin. Exalt only the merits of Christ Jesus. None can forgive sins save the Son of God alone. Resign your soul absolutely into Christ's merciful hands. You must believe the Gospel Medicine to be the only thing that can heal your sinful soul, then you must personally take the Heavenly Medicine, and actually swallow it down into your soul by simple faith and trust in the Crucified and living God - Jesus Christ. Believing only in Christ is the great and main thing. True and hearty repentance of sin is a true token of genuine faith in the Savior.
The main plan is believing on Christ Jesus unto the salvation of your immortal soul. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am a sinner, Lord Jesus, and by faith I lay hold on you, and trust you alone to save me. I know that you bid sin-burdened souls to come to you, and I am a sin-burdened soul; so, Lord, I come, I hang only upon your gracious invitation in Matthew 11:28, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The main point is that you receive Jesus Christ, Himself (John 1:12). Humbly ask Christ to give you what you really need - His forgiveness. Faith in Christ is your greatest need beyond everything else. The moment a sinner believes and trusts in the crucified Son of God he is pardoned at once, he receives salvation in full through Christ’s blood.
The presence of God [the Holy Ghost] is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost sinners, and the edification, instruction, growth, and perfecting of believers. The main object of our life should be the winning of Christ to our soul and the winning of other souls to God. Have good and great thoughts of Christ, and you shall find your troubles lessening, and your sins disappearing! The main strength of the Gospel is to GLORY ONLY in the cross of Christ. Human morality is of no account and dangerous. The main and only way to overcome the fear of death is to believe firmly and continually in the Blood of the Crucified and Risen Lord of glory - Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus really, actually, and truly lives today to save sinners to the uttermost.
