Romans 1:21-22, Show Me Proof and I Will Believe!
Romans 1:21-22 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Without God’s truth, man is lost. In rejecting God’s revealed truth, man is foolish. In self-conceit, man thinks he is wise. In truth, he is fearfully awaiting a time of judgment. Jesus tells us of the rich man who died and found him tormented in the fires of hell. He realised that there is no way out of this eternal punishment. He requested that word be sent to his relatives so that they may wise up and not end up like him. It was too late for him to escape and he lived in eternal regret. A truly frightening scenario.
The people in the world are sadly moving headlong to destruction. They may not realise their precarious situation. These wise professors, endowed with the best wisdom of this world, are really but fools in the final analysis. The Apostle Paul comments on the lost estate of man and still acting very proudly. I recalled priding myself an agnostic before my conversion. I would tell Christians who tried to share with me the Christian faith to show me proof of God and I will believe. Otherwise, how can I believe?
The turning point came in my life when I was shown the truth that Jesus is the living and true God from John’s gospel.
