A need to share

– love drives us to share

“Perfect love drives out fear.” (1 John 4:18)

We no longer need to fear wrath for our sins because of the perfect love of Christ. But we are also called to love our neighbour and we should allow this perfect love drive out the fear we have of our neighbour, and share with them the Good News that we have.

Often we find that when we won’t follow what God’s asks of us, He provides inspiration for us in unusual ways. Read on to find encouragement to share from the word’s of an atheist.

– a letter from an atheist

“You are really convinced that you’ve got all the answers. You’ve really got yourself tricked into believing that you’re 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? It you’re right about God, as you say you are, and you believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak to me, you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation, into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your ‘loving’ god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.

“If you believe one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unchangeable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. That’s equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You’re just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that ‘Walk’ signal will shine your way across the road.

“Think about it. Imagine the horrors hell must have in store if the Bible is true. You’re just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you’re right, then you’re an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.”
