Have you ever asked the question why God can’t make everyone
repent? And then again, you remember God made us free moral agents; we choose
what we want. But then you feel there should be a way God can just get everyone to receive Him. Well, He has and is doing that.
The kingdom of heaven is a kingdom that must grow. And God Himself is not silent about this matter because He wishes that everyone should come into repentance (ref.: 1 Timothy 2:3-4), but as I said, He made us free moral agents. But He goes about calling all to repentance.
The parable of the vineyard workers, explains that God calls
us first before we become workers in His vineyard. The harvest is plenty, but
the labourers are few (ref.: Matthew 9:37). God calls us, not only through
those He has called. As you can see in the parable in Matthew 20:1-16, He went
out to call us. A perfect example is Apostle Paul whom Jesus called Himself,
and not through anyone. So, we shouldn’t think God only depends on us to
propagate His message.
Now, God is so concerned about our lives that in the
parable, He hired those who were idle, which shows a very loving Father who
would not allow the devil to come and pollute our minds. His love for us is so
much He is concerned about our repentance. But still, it is left to us to agree
to follow Him.
Our Lord Jesus doesn’t show any form of partiality, for we
all received the same form of inheritance because He would not deny anyone
access into His kingdom no matter the time the person accepts Him. But then
again, no one can use this as an excuse to relax by not receiving Jesus as
Lord, the gateway into God’s kingdom, because no one knows the day or hour He
will come. So, today is never too late to receive Him as Lord, but tomorrow may
be too late; this is why we must go out to live and share the good news of our
Lord Jesus. God loves us, and will never give up on us.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations—you’re born again, and you are now brand new!
