“The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1).
At first glance, this verse might seem to be speaking about an atheist — someone who does not believe that God exists. However, it is really speaking about someone who believes in God, but who does not believe that God is going to hold him/her responsible for his/her actions.
I remember a man (he was not a Christian) who boasted about cheating on his income tax, and when I mentioned that God took notice of this and would remember it, he replied that he did not think that God cared much about his income tax. He thought that God had more important things to consider! But the Lord knows all about us, and even the smallest sin is noticed. Those who think that God does not notice are called fools in this verse, for as we read in Romans, “Every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” See if you can find this verse in the book of Romans.
