Resistance, Indifference, or Coming to Jesus?

​Which is worse: resistance or indifference in terms of someone coming to Christ and finding everlasting life and rest for their souls in Him?

Resistance from insecurity or self-righteousness manifests in incessant criticism. The insecure heart is always resisting because it is always learning, but accepts the knowledge of the truth of the gospel (see 2 Timothy 3:7-8). But as awful as resistance is, indifference can be worse. Suppose someone is indifferent to the authority, majesty, and reality of God. In that case, there is no objective morality, no moral moorings. They drift into any and all of the awfulness that this world has to offer.

Jesus is a gentle man. He will not force His forgiveness, His gift of righteousness, or His rest on anyone. But He freely gives these to those who humbly come to Him. Hebrews 11:6 says, “he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently [sincerely, earnestly] seek Him.”

If you are resisting, why? Resist no more. If you’ve been indifferent, why? Be indifferent no more. Jesus is real. So is His authority, majesty, and ministry—to save those who seek Him diligently, earnestly, and sincerely. Come to Him and find rest for your soul.
