Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 15, 1 Timothy 1
I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”
1 Timothy 1:12-17
Maybe you’ve never been an atheist like me.
Neither was Paul.
Maybe you’ve never said ugly, blasphemous, hateful things against the name of God like I did.
Paul didn’t either.
But Paul saw his own sin for what it was – offense against a perfect, righteous, holy, Almighty God.
And he saw himself for who he was – a great sinner saved by an even greater God.
Praise God for His boundless mercy and grace toward sinners like me and you.

I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting. But the Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

Isaiah 47:10 describes my life as an atheist.
You felt secure in your wickedness; you said, “No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.”
Isaiah 47:10 ESV
I was sincere in my beliefs, but I was sincerely wrong. Little did I know the truth that is found just one page earlier, in Isaiah 46:9b.
I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me
Isaiah 46:9b ESV
Thank You, Lord, for opening my eyes to the truth found in the pages of scripture. Thank You for showing me the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus. My Savior and King.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams.
This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.”

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
