Only the Holy Spirit can convince an atheist of his sinfulness and danger. Only the Holy Spirit can *Reveal* Christ to a sinner. People cannot tolerate what the Bible says about human self-righteousness. Many people ask, "Where is Hell?" Hell is at the end of a Christ-rejecting life. You may think you're all right without Christ's Imputed Righteousness, but you're not. Your soul must be made absolutely righteous in God's sight by the work of the Holy Spirit (Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the *Holy Ghost*). Ye must be born again. When a man is born again, God gives him Christ's Righteousness as a Free Gift. The atheist relies only on human help, humans are the atheist's gods, but the Christian relies on God's divine help. Christians are grateful to God for all God's help and mercies that are given to him.
There's no difference between the Pope and Charles Manson, or Mother Teresa and Jack the Ripper. There's no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Here are some roadblocks on the highway to Hell: The Bible, the Holy Spirit, Calvary's Cross, the witnessing believer, your conscience, prayer, sermons, the creation, and gospel tracts. If you reject Jesus Christ, you will cut your own spiritual throat. Don't wind up Religious, but lost. Every humanist is an egotist. Never put any faith in man or yourself. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool.
Most folks today live thoughtless and careless and wind up dying Christ-less and hopeless. Atheistic people think that Darwin is the Authority, not Jesus Christ. The atheist is going to think the way he's been taught, and nobody's going to tell him anything to change his mind. The religionist trusting in his own righteousness is going to believe what he's been taught, and nobody on this earth can convince him of his need of Jesus Christ. You're in deep trouble without Jesus Christ. Religion today doesn't want to upset you; it wants to make you feel good about yourself. Your inward nature is so dark and sinful. Human nature indulges in and delights in sin. It's what you have in you that will take you up or down at death. It's not what you did or didn't do, that takes you to heaven or hell. The Holy Spirit will take you up at death if you are regenerated, you'll go up to the source of what is in you. Only guilty and filthy sinners need His pardoning blood.
All you have to do go to Heaven without trusting Jesus Christ is to be Perfect. Just live a sinless life, don't ever make any mistakes, that's the way to heaven without Jesus Christ. But God has a situation worked out now, that if you will simply trust His Son you can meet His righteous requirements, so you don't have spend Eternity in the Lake of Fire, where we all belong. God is a pure Spirit and a consuming fire. God must reveal Himself to you, or you will never find Him. God reveals Himself at the Cross of Christ in the Blood of Jesus Christ. View the wounded wonderful Savior; Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.
You have a soul in you that will never cease to exist. One day your soul will leave your body, and your sins must be paid for by Someone. The Bible says that you don't have to go to Hell. Christ died for the ungodly, that's us! Whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ hath everlasting life. Come unto Jesus' feet, and He will give you rest. If you do the very best you can and follow your conscience, you wind up in hell. Human nature abhors the Gospel, because human nature is self-righteous and loves sin. You don't have to die in your sins and go to Hell. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Simple faith in the Precious Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ freely justifies the needy sinner on the spot. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, especially you. Trust in Christ alone for mercy and the free forgiveness of sins just now. Christ Himself is all a guilty sinner needs. Believe in the Crucified and Risen God who justifies the ungodly. Only the grace of God will lead a man to abhor and quit his sinning.
The Bible is so, your sins are real, your conscience alarms you, Hell exists, and God manifest in the flesh shed His Blood on Calvary's Cross for the ungodly. You need to throw darwin and his monkey fable overboard now, and by faith come directly to Jesus Christ as a guilty sinner, and from the heart, ask Him to best way you know how, to save your soul from the love of sin and hell fire. Fill in the blank: If I were to die tonight, I would wake up in He______.
