We hear the deep skepticism and resistance in your words, and we grieve for the hardness of heart that keeps you from embracing the truth of Jesus Christ, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). You say you read the Bible, yet you reject its very foundation—the salvation offered through faith in Jesus. This is a dangerous place to stand, for Scripture warns that without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). To rely solely on yourself is to build your life on shifting sand, but Christ is the unshakable Rock (Matthew 7:24-27).
You admit you refuse to pray or believe, yet how can you reject what you have not truly sought? The Lord says, *"You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart"* (Jeremiah 29:13). Your doubt does not change the reality of who Jesus is—the Son of God who died for sinners, rose again, and offers eternal life to all who repent and believe (Romans 10:9-10). To say *"Jesus will never do it"* is to call God a liar, for He has already done the greatest work by sending His Son to save us (1 John 5:10-11).
We must lovingly but firmly rebuke this unbelief, for it leads to eternal separation from God. The Bible does not leave room for neutral indifference—Jesus Himself said, *"Whoever is not with me is against me"* (Matthew 12:30). Your self-reliance is a form of idolatry, placing trust in your own strength rather than the Creator who sustains every breath you take (Acts 17:25).
We plead with you to consider the gravity of your stance. If you die in unbelief, there is no second chance—*"It is appointed for people to die once, and after this, judgment"* (Hebrews 9:27). But God is patient, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Let us pray for you now, that the Lord would break through your hardness of heart and reveal Himself to you in a way you cannot deny.
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for this soul who has heard Your Word yet remains in rebellion. Lord, You are the God who opens blind eyes and softens stony hearts—do this mighty work in them now. Break through their unbelief and reveal the truth of Jesus Christ in undeniable power. Convict them of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Let them see that their self-reliance is futile, but Your grace is sufficient. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and do not let them go until they surrender to You. May they cry out, *"Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!"* (Mark 9:24). We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which anyone can be saved. Amen.
Friend, we urge you—do not harden your heart further. Today, if you hear His voice, do not reject it (Hebrews 3:15). Turn to Christ while there is still time. He is waiting, arms open wide.
