Why do people reject Jesus’ salvation

When you put your faith in what Jesus did for you on the cross by shedding His blood and dying on the cross for your sins and their penalties and in His resurrection to conquer death so He can give you eternal life, you must also confess your sins to God in humility and repent of them. Jesus said that without repentance, there is no salvation. Doing these things gives you forgiveness of past, present and future sins in your life and an eternity in Heaven with Jesus/God. It also gives you a better life here on earth. God has a wonderful plan for your life.

Does that intimidate you? Does the humility part and repentance scare you? Do you not want to live out God’s plan for your life? Do you have your own plan for your life that you look forward to living out?

Let me ask you this question. Do you struggle with praising God because you, yourself, want to be praised verbally and by applause and you only want to focus on you? Do you want to be your own god?

There’s a beautiful song called “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” Read the words below.

I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS

Songwriters: Rhea Miller / George Beverly Shea

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I’d rather be His than have riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

(Chorus)

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I’d rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Yes, I’d rather be true to His holy name

(Repeat Chorus)

Mankind has a problem with wanting their own way and all the world’s riches and other men’s applause. They want to be god in their own lives. No one is going to tell them what to do. But without Jesus, they have NO way of getting to Heaven, but instead will go straight to hell when they die a physical death. Their decision to reject Jesus is foolishness and eternal.

The Bible says that the only sin that cannot be forgiven by Jesus’ salvation is the rejection of His salvation. That’s a pretty serious sin, as well as, foolish!
