Elijah had absolute confidence that the LORD was the one true God. That's why the prophet challenged Ahab and his false prophets to a contest atop Mount Carmel. Elijah wanted the king to stop causing the confusion over who was to be worshipped- Baal or God.
The prophet told the people it was time to makeup their minds. They could not claim to be God's people and continue to worship idols, rather than in the living God. No false god can do for us what God can do. He forgives our sins, meets our physical needs and satisfies the spiritual longings in our hearts. God is the only one worth worshipping.
I kings 18: 17-40
