Reasons people do not come to Christ

As you will read there are several reasons why people do not come to Christ. In John chapter 3 we see that they loved darkness more than light, for their actions were evil. They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for their sins will be exposed and they will be punished. Basically, they love their sins and they want to continue to do them. In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 we see that Satan (the god of this evil world), has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They do not understand the message that is preached about Christ. When we look at what this is saying, we see that Satan who is the god of this evil world, not that Satan is god, but that Satan is the cause of all of the evil in this world and he is the one who orchestrates it to play out the way it does. He is the one who blinds the minds of those who do not believe. Now this is one of the ways that Satan keeps people blind, he tempts people. In James chapter 1 it says that temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires. Yes, our own evil desires, the desires that come from men’s hearts. Now Scripture teaches that we are born in sin and that we have sinful natures, but let’s look at the facts. Satan has been around long before mankind was and he is the beginning of evil, when pride was found in his heart. In Scripture he is called the tempter, one of many descriptions of Satan. I tell people all of the time that since you were a small child he has been watching you and tempting you with all sorts of temptations. He knows what excites your flesh and what is appealing to your senses. He works on all of your senses, emotions, and feelings, he is a master at his art (Evil). Now I know that Scripture clearly teaches that we are drawn away by our own evil desires, but who put them there. In a way I would say Satan himself. Not that he can put them there, but he can definitely make the suggestion. We see this in the Book of Genesis, when he tempted Eve, with the forbidden fruit. And as Eve did, we fall for the temptation too. For it says, that these evil desires lead to evil actions and evil actions lead to death, just as it did for Eve. This is where Eve became spiritually dead.  The word death in Greek means to be separated and that is exactly what happened when we sin, we are separated from the presence of God.

Now God has given us the solution to this problem. Believers should gently teach those who oppose the truth and perhaps God will change those people’s hearts and they will believe the truth. Then these people will come to their senses and escape from the Devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants. According to Scripture faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So if you do not want to reject the LORD any longer, then I suggest to you, to right now receive Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, to turn from your sins and ask Him to wash you clean and to give you a new heart that will follow Him all the days of your life. I pray that you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and if you have congratulations, you are now a child of God!!!!!!!!! May God Bless You and please keep reading the Word of God and pray in Jesus’ name for wisdom and understanding. Pray to God to bring people into your life that will help you with your new found faith and God Bless You again!!!!!!!!

John 3:16-21

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

“There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God. Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished. But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants.”

2 Timothy 2:23-26

Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. The Lord’s servants must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone. They must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult people. They should gently teach those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will believe the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the Devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants. 

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

If the Good News we preach is veiled from anyone, it is a sign that they are perishing. Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don’t understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

James 1:13-15

And remember, no one who wants to do wrong should ever say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else either. Temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires. These evil desires lead to evil actions, and evil actions lead to death.
