Seeing isn’t Always Believing


I ask myself all the time,
Why would anyone not have faith?
Is it because they are afraid?
Afraid of the virtuous path that having faith commands?
Afraid that just maybe there will then be someone to stand by them?
Someone to walk with them
Someone to guide and lead them
People say, “why should I believe? I have never seen him”
My answer to that is seeing isn’t always believing
Isaac Newton says gravity exists,
However I have not seen it,
but I see the effects of it all around me,
as I see the effects of God all around me
He is in the hearts and minds of all who accept him
He walks beside me everyday
He carries me through the hard times
He is my savior and my one true God
Now I ask nonbelievers a question
What do you have to lose by accepting God?
The answer to my own question is nothing.
You have nothing to lose but so much to gain
If there is no God in heaven and you are a nonbeliever
You have lost nothing
If there is no God in Heaven and you have faith
You have still lost nothing
However if there is a God in heaven and you are a nonbeliever
You are eternally condemned and you have lost everything
Conversely, if there is a God in heaven, and you have faith
You have gained everything! You have gained eternal life
