Why Don't All People Believe in God?

Why Don't All People Believe in God?

"I've Never Heard of God"

Have you ever heard someone say this? Maybe during a witnessing conversation or online debate?

Here's what might shock you: According to the Bible, this statement is impossible.

God Has Already Spoken to Everyone

Romans 1:20 declares: "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 Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

Clearly seen. Without excuse.

Every sunrise. Every star. Every blade of grass. All of creation is screaming one message: There IS a Creator!

When someone claims they've never heard of God, we can simply ask: "Have you looked up lately?"

The Real Problem Isn't Ignorance

So why do people still deny God? Romans 1:18 gives us the devastating answer:

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness."

They hold the truth in unrighteousness. They have the truth right in their hands but suppress it.

Romans 1:21 reveals exactly how: "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."

The Simple Act of Rebellion

The "ungodliness and unrighteousness" isn't complicated. It's this:

  • Seeing God's creation
  • Refusing to give Him glory
  • Refusing to be thankful

That's it. That simple rebellion makes someone guilty before God.

We're Living Proof

Think about it: Instead of looking up at God's magnificent creation, we're looking down at our phones, taking selfies, chasing likes from strangers. We'd rather get approval from people than give glory to the God who created our very eyes.

We were designed to worship and glorify God. When we don't, we're like a microwave trying to run with the door open - nothing works the way it should.

The Downward Spiral

When people reject God's clear revelation:

  1. They become vain in their imaginations (elaborate theories to explain Him away)
  2. Their foolish hearts are darkened (spiritual blindness sets in)
  3. They spiral into increasing wickedness

We see this everywhere today. People, desperately trying to find meaning apart from their Creator, becoming more confused and rebellious with each passing day.

Look Up Before It's Too Late

Tonight, step outside. Look up at the stars. Listen to God's creation. Remember that the same God who flung those stars into space also sent His Son to die for your sins.

As Acts 20:21 commands: "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."

Repentance toward God - because we've all refused to give Him the glory He deserves. Faith toward Jesus Christ - because He is the door back to the God we've been rejecting.

The evidence is all around you. The question is: Will you keep holding the truth in unrighteousness, or will you finally look up and give God the glory He deserves?
