The godless have abandoned God. They have rejected God. I see it everywhere. You see it as well. It seems to be our daily news. I can’t escape knowing about it. It is deeply troubling. I am not thinking about evil which is another story. I am thinking about choices to reject God.
So where does this leave the rejectors in their standing with God? Tough question. What is God’s response to those who reject Him and His Son Jesus? What do you do with people who choose to live in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out?
Our Father is patiently and lovingly waiting even though they have traded our true God for a fake god. They are worshiping a god they have made instead of the God who made them. But our Father, having given us a choice, waits patiently for the ungodly to return home. God loves regardless of the rejection of His Son Jesus and the truth. God is love. That is just who He is.
We followers of Jesus worship our Father in heaven, the creator of life and all we know. We serve the King of all beauty and splendour. God is God. How it all turns out is up to Him. May I bless Him forever and ever. That is my job.

Hi Michael. Thanks for first not shading the truth about the fate of those who reject what is freely offered; thanks further for the reminder that it is freely offered, and the choice us ours. We don’t get off the hook by claiming we had no choice.

First the literal answer to this question: ‘What is God’s response to those who reject Him and His Son Jesus?’ since God already answered this one.
“Forgive them, they know not what they do.”
The hardest part is accepting that this includes you and I. There is no way to accept Jesus since we already rejected him unto his death, and when someone tells you you can somehow submit to Jesus and thereby accept him and be saved, the correct response is, “Away from me Satan.” That would be an act of imagination and self-deception, not one of faith.
All we can do is pick up his cross and be as he was, and hope that enough of us do it that God, through His grace, offers us a second chance at not-rejecting Him in Person before He lets some idiot blow the Trump.

Isn’t it ironic when religious fanatics judge atheists?
