“The god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Satan loves to blind the minds of unbelievers, and sometimes even young people who have been brought up in Christian homes fall under his influence. Instead of accepting the Lord Jesus as their Savior, they listen to the silly arguments of those who follow false religions, or who perhaps say they are atheists, and do not believe there is a God. Yet if you ask these same young people if they are happy, they will almost always say “no.” If you ask them how their life is going, they will often say that they are in a mess. Why is their life in a mess?
It is because we cannot live without our Creator, and when we pretend that He does not exist, or perhaps believe in a system of teaching that is not based on the Bible, we end up with no guidance in our lives, no reason even for living, no moral standards by which to live, and no hope for the future. But there is a God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself to us by sending His Son into this world. Now He wants everyone to hear “the glorious gospel of Christ.”
