If there were no God, the atheist would be playing a fool’s game in worrying about it one way or the other, since it would mean that there is no ultimate meaning to life, significance to man’s existence and nothing beyond the grave. All would be empty, vain, purposeless, hopeless; life would merely be a strange, unfathomable accident. That is the atheist’s glorious message.
If the atheist is right, it doesn’t matter what you believe about religion one way or the other, but if the Bible is right it matters a very great deal. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ... He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16, 18).
