I mean really think about it?
For example, have you ever thought that some one might just think Jesus was just a guy on earth? That He wasn't the Son of God, and that He didn't heal the sick, and walk on water? Have you ever thought that some one might think God didn't create the universe because there isn't any 'proof'? Have you ever thought that some one might think that Christianity as a whole is too 'self centered' and only out to prove how right we are? Have you ever thought that some one might think that the Bible is a good thing to teach 'moral lessons' but for no other purpose?
And have you ever thought that some one might believe that after they die, nothing happens? Their bodies are put in the ground and that's it.
Beloved I can cry with you and promise you that there are people who believe all of that and so much worse.
But what do we do?
Love them.
The enemy daily tries to stir up these questions in our hearts so that we, who know the Truth will doubt. Satan will try with all his might to get to us trough anything and anyone, by placing that seed of doubt in our minds.
Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Luke 8:12
But there is a stronger and wiser seed planted deep in our hearts.
As Christ followers we need to be prepared for anything thrown at us to try and defer us from our amazing God. And the only way to do that: is study and know Gods Word.
By knowing Gods Word we can be equipped for any question a non-believer throws at us. We can defend our God from the terrible questions above by simple explaining to them what the Bible says.
And beloved...don't ever let anyone tell you the Bible is just 'a book', or that it's been re-written too many times to still be true.
For in Him you have been enriched in every way-with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge.
1 Corinthians 1:5
Maybe you haven't ever come across someone who believes any of these things...I encourage you to find some one. Plant a seed in their lives. God will do the rest. We have to really believe that God will do amazing things in non-followers life in order for Him to do that.

Great post! and so true!! We need His Word daily so that we can spiritually and mentally be prepared when the Devil tries to strike. He knows what will get to each of us and cause us to doubt and wander ...and he uses it to his advantage. The stronger we get in His Word and the stronger we try to follow His Will, the stronger and steadier the devil attacks. That's why this post was so great!!!
Hope you are having a great week!!
Lovely post I just talked about this same thing about planting seeds on a daily devotion in which I write. Each day we should be planting seeds into people's lives and watch how the Lord will send someone else to water that seed. When I think about God's love and how He loved us yet while we where still sinners and in sin...if we can grasp a hold of it and show that same love to the world we would have more people coming to Jesus then now. AMEN
