Two Kinds Of People

There are two kinds of people in the world.  We often divide them into groups such as secularists/traditionalists, liberals/conservatives, or Democrats/Republicans.  But these categories do not get to the ultimate dividing point.  People are ultimately divided into believers and unbelievers. 

So who are the unbelievers?  Unbelievers include all who reject the Jesus of the Bible and the Bible itself.  This category includes more people than you might think.  It not only includes atheists and secularists but others also.  Other unbelievers include Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslims, adherents of Judaism, Hindus, Buddhists, New Agers, Scientologists, and many more. 

If Christianity is true then all other religions and worldviews are necessarily false.  All religions are not true and all paths do not lead to heaven.  Jesus the Messiah, the only Son of God, is the only way to heaven.  All unbelievers are dead in their sins, spiritually dead, and on the road to hell. 

Included in the believers category are all true Christians.  All true believers believe in the Trinity.  God is three persons of one essence (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).  Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah, the only Son of God.  They also believe that the Bible is the Word of God.  Believers have been made spiritually alive, have been saved from their sins, and are on the road to heaven.  Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for their sins.  They also believe he was resurrected, victorious over sin and death.  The resurrection also proves that he is God. 

The evidence for the existence of the God of the Bible is there for everyone.  The creation itself testifies to his existence.  All people have a sense of the divine.  But unbelievers suppress the truth and reject the one, true God.  Unbelievers create other gods for themselves because they do not want to submit to the God who is there.
