Psalms 14:1 The FOOL, hath said
in his heart, There is no God. The words There is, were added by the translator for clarification. I think the better interpretation of this
verse is to leave those two words out.
Reading the verse then comes out:
The FOOL,
hath said in his heart no, God.
Just take a look at Cain & Able. They both knew what God expected of
them. Able believed and God accepted his
sacrifice. Cain “said in his heart no to
God” and did the sacrifice his way.
God gives us his word to let us know what is expected out of
us. We now live by faith in the Son of
God, and not by sight. John 1: 1 – 5 IN THE beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made
by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light
of men. And the light shineth in
darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1: 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
Christ left his heavenly kingdom and came down to us on
earth born of a virgin and without sin in his blood. He gave his life as a selfless act in order
to allow all people of the earth to be reconciled with God in spite of their sin. The offer is good to this day and available
to all who will believe and accept it.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the earth’s population will say “No
God,” and not accept it, and on the day of judgment will stand before God with
no viable excuse for not accepting it.
Romans 1: 20 -22 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and God-head; so that they are without excuse. Because that, when
they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became
vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,
It’s easy to find out what God expects out of all of us,
just by reading his Word to us from the bible.
You need no other books or translations, just the Holy Bible is all you
need. Everything you need for eternal
life is right there. This side of the cross,
it is important for us all to study the books of the apostle Paul (Romans –
Philemon & Hebrews). God gave us Paul to be the apostle to the
gentiles (us), and it would benefit us all to study what God gave him to give
us. Be diligent about this and do not be
one that says No, God.
