NA SO E EASY? YES!!! NA SO E EASY!!!
A few years ago, I once preached the gospel to someone on campus, a classmate actually. Guess what? He didn't agree to accept it, because it was "too good to be true." He was like;
“you mean say I no need do anything, just accept Christ and I done dey righteous for God eye? Guy forget that thing. Even Bible talk say person wey dey do good, make him dey do good... Dikky how far naa, if na so e easy, all man for done born again naa.”Kai! Smh. After hours of trying to convince a nigga, he still no gree. I just left him to the Holy Spirit because it turned into an argument, instead of an outreach.
Thinking about it now, I just realized how much a vast majority of the body of Christ have presented the gospel, making it seem so hard to accept that when you eventually show people how easy it is to accept the gospel and the love of God in their hearts, it sounds so strange to them, too good to be true, and they just feel you must be wrong because almost everyone isn't preaching what you are preaching. Some doubt, even after you've shown them these truths in scripture. This can get really frustrating because the "lawyers" and "judges" have really made our ministry very difficult for us who are trying to show people the love of Christ. They have so misrepresented God, and hammered wrong doctrines into our heads that unbelievers are scared to associate with God and the things of God, even going to church is hard for them because the thought alone fills them with guilt and condemnation, and they don't feel worthy enough to go to Church, into the "presence of God."
This is me apologizing to my unbelieving friends, on behalf of the body of Christ:
Sorry for making God look so far to reach, He is actually right there with you, longing for you to talk to Him.
Sorry for making God look like a tyrant, He actually loves you so much that He hurts because you haven't accepted His love which He has made FREELY available for EVERYBODY! Just accept His love and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ for your sins, and you are good to go...a relationship with God commences.
Sorry for making God look like He only accepts "good people", which has actually made you stay away from God until you "get it right", or "fix your life" first...but it doesn't ever seem to be happening for you any time soon. God actually wants you to come to Him JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! You don't take a bath before you enter the bathroom to take a bath. That sounded silly right? Exactly how silly it is to think you should fix your life or get it right before you come to God. A broken gadget can't fix itself, the manufacturer does that. You are God's gadget (loved one for that matter) and He is your manufacturer. ONLY GOD can fix you, NOT YOU! Just accept Christ, believe in His Word and watch how He works in you to do good works, not your own good works, but Christ working these good works in you.
Now you see how EASY it is to accept Christ, my prayer for you is that you take this decision today and I promise you, you will NEVER regret it! Have a great life in Christ! I love you! —Dikky #FocusOnChrist
