Consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Psalm 50:22.

Many people have indeed forgotten God. They no longer reckon with Him, nor do they want to know anything about Him. But God is there. He inquires after His creatures; He is not indifferent as to their fate. He does not want them to fall a victim to judgment without any hope of salvation, which must confront all who ignore Him.
We can already see the consequences of this conscious rejection of God: "Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud ...." This depressing list is not complete; you can read it in Romans 1, vv. 28-31.

Nevertheless God has not given mankind up altogether. He wants us to take notice and stand still. He does not want us to suffer His judgment. He tells us: "Consider this: I do not wish to execute justice; I have given a Saviour!"

That Saviour is His own beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. By suffering and dying on the cross He made atonement for sin and bore the judgment for us.

Whoever wishes to be saved, Jesus Christ is there for him to accept. Whoever acknowledges being a sinner before God and believes in Christ and His sacrifice, obtains the forgiveness of his sins and peace with God.
