One reason people don’t respond to the Gospel is because they don’t think they need a Savior. They don’t see their own sin as their condemnation. They fail to see their guilt and God’s justice. Salvation means little to them because their pride blinds them of the truth. Satan loves deceiving people. That’s why he hates those who diligently preach the Gospel and live lives that give no reason to doubt it. Zachariah’s words to his son (John the Baptist) could ever ring so true today.
76 “And you, my little son,will be called the prophet of the Most High,because you will prepare the way for the Lord.77 You will tell His people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins.78 Because of God’s tender mercy,the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,and to guide us to the path of peace.” 80 John grew up and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he began his public ministry to Israel.
