Many people cannot believe the Bible because they don't understand it. They say that it is just man-made. These people who rejects the Bible are the ones who have not yet read even a single book of the Bible.
Consequently, they do not believe the God of the Bible. They only believe God based on their understanding - based on what they can accept of a God. They don't believe the God who the Bible discussed because they cannot comprehend it. For them it seems not logical...
However, not believing God as the Bible teaches is halfhearted! God does not settle for a halfhearted devotion. God demands a total commitment - a full devotion!
Not to believe even in just one character of God is already unbelief and thus, it is sin.
How would you feel if your friend believes only of certain things about you and adore you for these qualities but disregard your other qualities because he just couldn't see it - he just couldn't comprehend it and so he just dismissed it? How would you feel when you are not accepted as you really are - your 100% you when you made yourself known to your friend?
Don't you think it is an offense to you?
It is offensive to God because He is God Almighty who is the Creator of the universe- your Creator. He made Himself known to us.
First, He made Himself known to us through His creation - Romans 1:20 says "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. "
Second, He made Himself known to us through His word - the Bible. From cover to cover, it speaks about only of God - of His plan and purposes - of His glory.
Third, He made Himself known to us through Jesus Christ - His only begotten Son, our only Savior. God came, drew nearer to us and provided salvation by the death of His Son ...
How can we not believe in the God of the Bible?
We have the time now to repent of our unbelief and receive the truth that the Bible speaks about God and give God our full love and total commitment. We have the time but not all the time... we only have 'now' to do that.
A time is coming when we will see God in all His glory... and yes, all will believe then - all will bow down before Him and confess that He is Lord but you might be doing that NOT in heaven.
