3. “I Don’t Believe in God”

“Do you know about the Lord Jesus, friend?” a Christian asked a man who had listened to the open-air preacher, as he handed him a booklet. With a look of disdain he answered, “No, I believe in none of these things; I don’t believe in God, nor do I believe in a hereafter.”
“But there is death, and you know you cannot escape his clutches. Are you not afraid to die?”
“Not I,” he answered boldly.
“Possibly not. You have a good set of nerves; but what ablaut ‘after this the judgment?’”
A slight twitch on his face, and his admission that, “if there was such a thing it was a fearful prospect,” indicated to us that even in his avowed unbelief there was the terror of the judgment before him. “Flee from the wrath to come.”
