Jesus calls me to deny myself and follow Him. I can't afford to be an atheist. I don't have enough faith to trust there is no eternity... I stand to risk far less if I'm wrong about what I believe in, than if I were to be in your shoes. For if God is real and the Bible is true, I will be in heaven when I die, in the presence of Jesus Christ who died for my sins. If God is fake and the Bible false, I risk nothing. I die and that's it.... But for you, if the Bible is wrong, so what. You die and that's all there is. But if it is true, and there is a heaven and hell, you stand to lose everything.
I don't have any doubt in my mind that the Bible is true and God is real. My struggles are merely how do I follow Him closer, be more like Him, and obey His word like He commands me to. I can only love because He first loved me anyway.
