WHY PEOPLE DON'T COME TO CHRIST

 WHY PEOPLE DON’T COME TO CHRIST

We all know people, some in our own family and some of us have friends, neighbors or work associates, who give no evidence of a changed life. Oh, they may have been baptized or joined a church. But that was a long, long time ago and today they are not the least bit interested in coming to Christ!

All of which suggests the question: Why do people refuse to come to Christ?

The Bible is filled with pleas and invitations and warnings of a Risen Christ.

Repeatedly, with loving, nail scarred, outstretched hands, the Lord exhorts all people to come to Him. These pleas and invitations are found all over the Bible. Here are just a few:

Matthew 11:28-30

Luke 19:10, 12-14, 27

John 5:37-40

Revelation 3:20-21

Isaiah 55:1, 6-7 

But they don’t come. They ignore and neglect these pleas. Why? Why? 5 reasons:

Unable to come on their own

Understanding is darkened by sin

Complete corruption of the affections

Corrupt nature of the will

Refuse the invitations --- why?

Next few days, we are gonna explore each one. See you tomorrow.
