PARABLE:  
Few know of Blaise Pascal's Wager
he's famous mathematician ~1650s. Summary  (see chart): 

Image may contain: textIf you believe in God but are Wrong, then big deal--   nothing happens; 
& if you're right, you get "Heaven Forever"

If you DON'T believe in God, and are right, big deal.   BUT if you're Wrong >>>    you get "Hell Forever"... 

So, Pascal reasoned, Gambling Sense = 

BELIEVE IN GOD:    WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
 


What does LORD God say ??  
Sadly Pascal's Wager is proven Wrong by a single verse of Truth with logic; James 2:19, 

Even demons believe in God-- and Tremble. 
But God does not PROVES Himself to us...
          despite all the evidences .....
to leave us FREEDOM to reject Truth ... if that is Our Choice.

SO WHAT ??
End of Romans 1
by instinct   EVERY person knows there IS a God; 
but we can choose to reject every evidence of Him, 
gambling that, hey, maybe we're  "in Luck &  wrong"
whenever we start thinking: all of Nature shows, God exists.

Prayer: 
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but BEG us
to CHOOSE LIFE by choosing YOU, as You've invited even as far back as in
the time of Moses.  (Deuteronomy 30: 19-20)....
Help me to NOT be stubborn, to NOT be blind to ALL the many Evidences of You
that I see both in nature and in Your little miracles that I sometimes call Luck...
or just coincidence.  I'm sorry.  And I thank You for all Your blessings. I CHOOSE YOU.
