The gospel is so simple and yet so hard to believe.
Many people want to be a part of their own salvation, they think "easy" is not enough, it must be harder to be good.
Christ made it so easy that anyone can come to Him, all they have to do is confess they are a sinner unworthy to be with God in heaven.
OH Wait.....I get it, that's the hard part for rebellious unbelievers, they hate the idea of submitting to anyone else, even if that submission will give them an amazing inheritance in heaven without problems or sickness forever.
Pride is a huge thing, once it is swallowed and humility emerges, most problems go away, but the rebellious ones seem to be willing to hold onto the problems to spare their pride. This makes no sense to the rational believer who has had to admit their sin and be cleansed. Most of life's problems can be solved by the swallowing of pride and the display of humility.
Anyone who cannot confess sin to one another to be reconciled, will never confess to God to be cleansed.
Pride, Pride, Pride.....at the root of all problems and lack of solutions.
Proverbs 16:17-19 "…17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life. 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud.…"
