A Fateful Attitude
I recently heard of a young believer who had a tract booth he would set up at fairs and during parades and public events so that he could give out gospel tracts and other Christian literature. On one occasion, a passer-by not only refused the tract offered to him but also tried to convince the young man with philosophical arguments that God exists in the trees and flowers, and in every creature, even in each one of us. He concluded with this deduction: “Once you have realized that you too are God, you will have become very wise.”
What a fateful attitude! There is a day coming when this person, along with many others, will be awakened to the reality of judgment and have to stand before the Lord to answer for his sins, and his rejection of the gospel. “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:12).
Thankfully, there is still opportunity to be saved. “Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts” (Hebrews 4:7).
