Atheist Mocks the Blood of Jesus
As I sit and read the famous atheist Richard Dawkins’ latest book, as he mocks the atonement and the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus, I am wondering how many Christians today even understand atonement, and how many churches preach the blood of Jesus as the only hope of humanity for forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God.
The core doctrines of the Bible seem to have been partially shelved or deemphasized in order to appease the masses that we want to attend our churches. But then, after they come into the church, what do they receive? Do they truly enter into salvation, or just a surface religious experience that makes them feel better about themselves?
If the leading atheists and skeptics of our day have enough time and influence to write and promote what opposes genuine Christianity, isn’t it time that preachers of the Gospel take seriously the call to preach and teach the whole counsel of God?
If the Gospel becomes watered down with each passing generation, what will be left for the people coming behind us? I guess this is precisely why Jesus, Paul, and many prophets emphasized the dangerous and rampant deception of the end times.
Dear Lord, make me part of the remnant who stays true to You and Your Holy Word.
