While atheism often cloaks itself in intellectualism, the Bible tells us it is foolish to say there is no God. Drawing from the Psalms, Alistair Begg teaches that unbelief often begins with the desire for independence from God, who sees our choices and calls us to account. Turning our backs on God—whether through disbelief or living as if God were distant and unaware—has tragic implications, but God eagerly saves those who admit their need for Him.
1gThe hfool says in his heart, i“There is no God.”
They are jcorrupt, they do abominable deeds;
kthere is none who does good.
2The Lord llooks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,1
who mseek after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become ncorrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4Have they no oknowledge, all the evildoers
who peat up my people as they eat bread
and qdo not call upon the Lord?
5There they are in great terror,
for God is with rthe generation of the righteous.
6You would shame the plans of the poor,
7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord trestores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
