So how arrogant is man when he questions the existence of God? Pretty Arrogant, but the longer I think about longer my anger turns to sadness. You see Satan plays the best way he can on all of our weaknesses. Many people have many different agendas why they don’t want there to be a God.
However, most of the reasons are tied to Pride, the very same thing that drug Satan down. They want to be the God of their own selves.
Isaiah 14:11-15 – 11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.
12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.
Others want to be worshipped. There have been rulers of countries that wanted to be worshipped and if you didn’t they killed the people. Daniel even had this happen in his day.
Daniel 6:7 – 7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or man during the next thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.
Now in this case the groups of guys in the scripture above were trying to get rid of Daniel. The only way they knew they could get him to do something against the law was to have something created in which they knew he wasn’t going against God. Darius the Mede however, didn’t object to the decree.
Satan is going to do the same thing as we read in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 13:15 – 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
Same old sins, different day.
The fact is; the evidence of God is in everything, because God made everything.
Psalm 14:1 – The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
God is clearly not impressed with the atheist or lazy agnostic.
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord. Arrogance will only land someone in an eternity without God and that of torment.
