This is Part 2 of our Dear Atheist series: The thought for this episode is... DEAR ATHEIST: PLEASE DON’T SETTLE FOR NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH.
We realize that some may balk at this point, but we also have seen those who didn't stop searching and ultimately became Christians as a result of not giving up.
This video is intentionally not an apologetic debate or a scientific study to shed some kind of new light. There are plenty of those out there.
This is just a heart-to-heart conversation in which we just want to encourage our atheist friends to not give up in their search to know if God is real. We know what He has done in our lives and the many ways He's showed up that clearly reveal His personal interaction in our lives. And while atheists will reject the claim that God exists, they can't refute what we know is true in our own experience and the experience of so many others.
So, this is a heartfelt appeal to not give up.
Since atheism is a belief that there is no God, it necessitates that at some point in their lives, they made a conscience decision that they do not believe in the existence of God.
But in conversations with atheists, our experience has been that their focus is on what they do’t believe, rather than on what they do believe.
The ever-changing science on which many atheists adhere to leave them without a solid answer for how this world came into existence, how the earth and life are sustained, how the universe continues in motion and how the earth, in all its complexity (although atheists would say complexity isn't a factor for believing in God), exists on its axis at just the right tilted degree range and spins at just the right speed and remains at just the right distance away from the sun and the moon... along with other very complicated realities of life cannot be something that just happened or even evolved.
Everyone has the right to believe what they choose about God. That's a personal decision each one needs to make for themselves.
We are just sharing our hearts based on conversations we've had with some atheist friends and with some who have turned from the faith - and based on our personal experience in our relationship with the Lord.
Some atheists, in their quest for answer, turned to God and became Christians. Others have not. Yet. Maybe they never will. But as learners, we pray they never stop seeking to know.
