Romans 3:3

              “For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?” This is a good verse to help when witnessing to a non-believer. What a person believes or does not believe has no effect on the truth. There are facts that cannot be denied by what you believe or don’t believe. As a Police Chaplain, I was doing a ride along with an Officer, and while witnessing to him, he stopped me and said he doesn’t believe what I do as we were pulling up to a 4-way stop. I responded by saying his belief wouldn’t change the facts, and proceeded using the 4-way stop as an example telling him I didn’t believe that I had to stop at that intersection because everybody else does. There are several things wrong with what I believe, first, I could get pulled over for not stopping. Second, I could get in an accident. Third, in the accident I or the other person could get hurt or killed, and ultimately there would be a price to pay. My not believing wouldn’t save me, and it could cost me everything! Jesus already paid the price for those who believe, a price you couldn’t pay. He responded saying, that was a good illustration and opened his heart to hearing the Gospel and my testimony. Just because a person doesn’t believe, won’t change the facts, and the Bible is all facts, truth, and in it is found the freedom from sin and hell! The penalty has already been paid!
