Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. -Isaiah 45:22

It takes much more faith to be an unbeliever than to be a believer. I am sure the philosophies of the present age which are currently set forth would require a deal more credulity than I am the master of. I can believe Scripture readily, and without violence to my soul, but I could not accept the theory even of the development of our race, which is so much cried up nowadays, nor a great many other theories. They seem to me to require a far greater sweep of credulity than anything that is written in the Word of God. To the ungodly man this seems reasonable. “It is reasonable to trust a great man, and to hope that he will be the maker of you; it is reasonable to trust your own reason-to believe you can steer your own course; it is reasonable to be a self-made man, self-reliant; it is reasonable to look after the main change; it is reasonable to get all the money you can; it is reasonable to put your confidence in it (of course, it has not any wings, and won’t fly away); it is a reasonable and discreet thing to live in this world as if you were to live for ever in it, and never think of another world at all.” To a great many it seems to be philosophy to get as far away from God as ever you possibly can, and then you will get to be a wise man that the creature is wisest when it forgets its Creator. That is the world’s creed, and I can only say that if they scoff at our creed, we can fairly enough scoff at theirs.

Truly it seems to me to be wisdom that I, a creature who certainly did not make myself, should think of my Creator; that I, a sinner, should accept that blessed way of salvation, which is laid before me in the Word of God; that I, weak and unable to steer my own course, should put my hand into the great Father’s hand and say, “Lead me, guide me by Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” This may be jested at and sneered at, but it can bear a sneer and will outlive the mocker. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
