Atheism is a universal negative. Everyone who has studied logic knows that you cannot prove a universal negative. If you say that that there is no such thing in the universe as little green men, for instance, there is no way to prove it. You'd have to travel through every planet and every star and inside every star and through every galaxy in the entire universe and come back and tell me that you didn't see one. When you did, I could just answer, "Well, you missed him. While you were going that way he, he was zigging this way." To prove that little green men don't exist you'd have to examine every single part of the universe at the same time. So it's impossible to to prove that there is no such thing as little green men or angles or God. Therefore atheism is a logical contradiction, and to affirm to a logical contradiction is irrational. So also is the concept of a world without a Creator, and a human heart that does not yearn for God to fill it.
I believe in God. However, to believe in Him is not enough, for even the devil believes in God and trembles. It is necessary not only that we believe He exists but also that we believe He became incarnate in Jesus Christ and that he died for our sins. It is necessary that we believe and that we repent of our sins and cast ourselves at His feet and place our trust in Him-in His atoning death for our salvation. If not, we shall face Him as our angry Judge in that great day. I believe in Him, and I know He is alive. He lives in my heart, and he has granted me the assurance that I shall live with Him forever. It is my earnest desire that that assurance may be yours, if it is not already.
