I’m sure you have heard of the Ten Commandments. They were originally written in stone about 3,000 years ago, and they are still around today in other forms so that you can see what God requires of you. It's His whole, consistent set of instructions so that you would have an idea of what you are in for on Judgment day. The Law was given as a mirror--so that we could see if we need cleasing. So let's face it, and see what we can see (all you need is some light):
The First tells us that we should put God (the One who gave us life) first and love Him above all else. Don’t create a false god (which is what atheists do). Don’t use His name in vain. Keep the Sabbath holy. Honor your parents. Don’t murder (violated through hatred). Don’t commit adultery (violated with lust--see Matthew 5:27-28). Don't steal, lie, or desire things that belong to others.
That Law will judge you if you die in your sins. If you die in Christ, you are free from its death sentence (and damnation). This is because Jesus paid the fine for guilty sinners whose case was dismissed upon their repentance and faith in the Savior.
It doesn't matter if you believe in God or if you don’t. He will judge you if you die without His forgiveness, which is only in Jesus Christ. You are without excuse, because of the testimony of creation (nature), and the testimony of your conscience. Listen to it, and then make peace with God today, while you have time.

Let's face it...
