1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. ~ Proverbs 14:1
We often quote this verse when speaking to or about people who don’t believe in God, but is that really what Solomon is talking about? On the surface, we could say a fool is anyone who believes that there is no God. But let’s take a closer look at what the verse says, 1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” The fool says in his HEART, not his mind. We can say we believe that there is a God. We can even say that we believe in the one and only God. The God of Israel, but that doesn’t mean that we have not said in our heart there is no God.
See, from our heart comes our actions. If our actions are sinful and evil, then our heart says that there is no God. There is no punishment, no judgment for our sins. We were all once fools, even if we grew up in Church. Even if we were never atheists, we were all once sinners. It’s not about what you say; it’s about the way you act. The way you live your life. So, if we don’t want to live as fools, then we must live our lives for Christ. We have to live as Christ lived His.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Live As Christ.
