Kingdom Decision

Matthew 13:47-52
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” 51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 52 Then He said to them, “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”

This Kingdom of Heaven Is The Dragnet
There Is A Judgement Coming

Nothing Affects Your Life Greater Than:
“I Believe In God” or “I Don’t Believe In God”

God Never Has Tried To Prove He Exists
God’s Existence Is Assumed In The Bible

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Romans 1:18-20
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Psalms 14:1, Psalms 53:1
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

I Don’t Believe

Reality (Truth) Does Not Care What You Believe

I’m An Atheist

No One Is Born An Atheist (God Denier)
A Person Can Only Become An Atheist (God Denier)
“No One Becomes An Atheist Because They Cannot Find God But Because They Will Not Find God”

Psalms 10:4 NIV
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

I Can’t Believe Because:

Who Made God
God Allows Suffering
God Can’t Be Proven

The Eternal Question
Do You Believe In Jesus?
Do You Choose “Not” To Believe In Jesus?

Revelation 22:1-3
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse…….
