In the 17th century there lived a French man called ,Blaise Pascal,he was a scientist who is credited with inventing a calculating machine,which was an essential step in the subsequent development of the modern calculator. He came into a true experience with God and became a true Christian,as a Christian he was called a heretic by the Jesuits,but he challenged this by stressing he was only teaching what Augustine taught.Pascal taught that you cannot prove the existence of God,and that faith and faith alone was the key to knowing God,human reasoning did not play any part of our relationship with God and Christ. He taught some thing which became known as Pascal's wager and it goes like this,/ How can anyone loose who chooses to become a Christian. If when he dies there turns out to be no God, and his faith is in vain,he has lost nothing,in fact,he has been happier in life than his non-believing friends. If however there is a God, and a heaven,and hell,then he has gained heaven, and his sceptical friends will have lost everything in Hell./ Looking at the Christian life ,like this, tells us simple,the Christian cannot lose out.
A prayer ....../ Dear God grant faith in Jesus,to the many who will otherwise loose out,for all eternity, in Jesus name Amen/
