I received an comment on one of the posts by a person who said "if God were to reveal Himself I'd follow but .." and "God on the other hand blesses who He blesses and curses who he curses - I fall into the latter group"..  It is sad to be in such a situation, but often when a person feels like this they are just a step or two away from truly finding God.  The person is at the point of denying God, but more than likely only because he feels condemned and does not see a solution out of it.

Oh, that all the people would know the Good News, that God is not made at them, that He has provided a solution to remove their burdens and to bring them into piece with God, and that it is free for the asking.  God waits for us to turn to Him to receive forgiveness, washing away ALL sin, regardless of what we have done and will then place a new heart within us so that we desire to follow after Him and to walk in ways that are pleasing in His sight.

There is the other point too, that if God would "reveal Himself", then the person would follow.  He already has revealed Himself in the evidence of Jesus and beyond that, in creation which God says means no one has an excuse for unbelief.  When people do not want to live (what we think as a sinner is a good life) or perhaps have sins we feel are so large that God would not forgive, people tend to deny God even exists and makes up their own methods to comfort themselves.  The sad part is that they will never receive any lasting comfort until they are right with God.

There is an article on how we can clearly see logically that God does exist and some of His attributes:

People often have no clue that everyone is a sinner in God's eyes and that there is not one of us righteous to God, except through the blood sacrifice of Jesus.  They do not have to life this life with the pain of their sins now face God with those sins if they just accept God's gift to them.  Some just do not understand what God said in:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

It is really just that simple.

One of the most important things a person who has not made a commitment to God or wants to deny God, it does not matter who or what they perceive to be God, there is still one God, who they will bow their knee to and admit He is God.  When that time comes it is too late to change your mind and they will have to place themselves in the hands of a God of justice and every single sin they have every committed, they will be judged for and then placed into everlasting punishment.

We can clearly see there is a God and that means we need to take the time to search for that God and find out what He wants out of us in this life before it is too late.
