It's no wonder why other religions are so popular. They teach that you can fix yourself. That if you try hard enough, you can make it to a good destination. Who doesn't want to be the one to fix themselves?
Christianity, however, teaches that you can't. Nothing you can do can get you to heaven. No good works. No self help sermon. No obedience. Christ begs that you repent and believe that He handled it all. Shedding His blood, dying your gruesome death, and then rising from the dead 3 days later. He overcame something for you that you would never be able to overcome on your own using infinite reincarnations. And all he ask is that you repent, turn away from your sinful, self seeking ways, and believe in what He accomplished for you.
I know that this spits in the face of being an American. We try harder, do more, and don't show weakness. But this is eternity that I am talking about. Get off the rat wheel of doing and flee from going to bed worrying if you have done enough and trust that Christ has done it all for you. Beccause He did.
Repent and believe,
a simple mind
