1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.
Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

You sound mind-programmed.

How totally arrogant of you to assume that people who are not Christian live meaningless futile lives! My life is full and rich; I have been married to the same man for over 30 years; I have 3 happy, successful children; I have 3 wonderful grandchildren; before I retired, I was a psychologist who found my work fascinating; I went on tour with the Grateful Dead (what an experience!); my parents are still living and are healthy and happy; I have good friends, some of whom I have known for over 40 years. How is this meaningless and futile? Oh, I'm Jewish, btw....

I must admit - I am impressed.
This is one of the only posts I've seen in the entire time I've been coming on here that actually looks like it was written by a Christian.
I disagree with your beliefs - but I support your right to believe whatever you want, as long as it doesn't hurt other people.

Wow, talk about being condescending. Take your preaching elsewhere.
1. My life is not a "meaningless futile life" simply because I don't believe in your god.
2. No your god doesn't, he is non-existent, fictional. That's like me telling you that Donald Duck loves you.
3. I am not sinful. I don't want any forgiveness for what I was and am.
4. I don't want your bronze age sheep herders' plan for my life. I make my own plans thank you very much.
5. Nooo....I don't want to be on the receiving end. ;-)

I certainly don't have a meaningless life, like some who spout bible all the time.
All of your quotes are from superstitious people who lived two thousand years ago and had little knowledge of anything. Why do you post that here on answers. You're supposed to be looking for information, not preaching.
If we care to know what it says in the bible, we can simply read it.

No.
1. My friends love me.
2. What you call sin, I find delicious.
3. I experience love everyday-not physical, but love.
4. I receive intelligent, like-minded people in my life.
I hope you are as fulfilled as I am.

The four spiritual laws.
I used to teach this.
Now I'm an atheist.
It misses out the preliminary question as to whether God exists.
And the question as to whether the Christian account of one, if one exists, is the most accurate.
Prolonged study convinced me otherwise.

I enjoy having a meaningless life. Perhaps it is futile, but I figure I only get 100 years maximum on earth so I may as well be happy and enjoy it.

Well gee, even though I have heard this hundreds of times, the way YOU have presented it is so special, I must be persuaded...that is rather egotistical of you....

I just have to say that my life got so much better when I opened my eyes to the glorious truth.
There is no god.

I don't have a meaningless life. In fact, I would have to say my life is better than many of those who claim to be Christian. God has fulfilled my every desire and he has blessed me with more than I could have every hoped for.
