HARDENING THE NECK
God talks to us through the Holy Spirit. He uses preachers, teachers, sermons, sorrow, sickness, setbacks, and scriptures. Its not a suggestion or an option.
Proverbs 29:1 He, that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be distroyed and that without remedy.
Hardening his neck is putting off coming to Christ. Some come under divine conviction. Their souls are stirred to salvation, and then pride steps in. They think they are as good as others. They don't want to be embarrassed.
Some reject God because they love pleasure more than God. God onlys asks us to give up the things that hurt us. Who wouldn't trade hell for heaven, dirt for diamonds, pain for peace?
God may not give those who reject Him another chance. Their destiny is bleak.
Genesis 6:3 My Spirit shall not always strive with man . . .
Jesus said, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Now is the time for salvation.
