Not knowing the Lord God Almighty not only makes people into functional atheists, it also renders them hopeless in this world .
Remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, malienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to nthe covenants of promise, o having no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:12
Only those who know Jesus have hope for the future — the sure expectation of eternal resurrected life, full purification from all sin, and unhindered fellowship with God .
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare2 and not for evil, to give you a future and a HOPE.
