What hinders people from coming to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Common hindrances include feelings of unworthiness, fear of judgment, and lack of understanding of God's grace.

Several factors may prevent individuals from approaching Christ, including a sense of unworthiness, fear of judgment from others, and misconceptions about salvation. As indicated in the sermon, the eunuch himself might have felt unworthy or hesitant due to his status or past. The Canaanite woman illustrates this struggle well; despite recognizing her unworthiness, she persisted in seeking Christ's mercy. In Matthew 15:27, she humbly acknowledges her position but appeals to Christ's grace. Furthermore, many fear that their personal sins disqualify them from salvation. However, Romans 8:1 reassures believers that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Ultimately, understanding that salvation is a work of God's grace can help overcome these hindrances and lead to a willingness to come to Him.
