text: reasons to refuse the jesus' gift of eternal life? i am so thankful that jesus went all that length to save my soul, and i  gladly accept his gift of eternal life. why people want to refuse it? what is so important to them that they want to decline this gift? where they go rather than to be with god??? i do not get it...everybody answer this..you and you and you.... people dont want to admit theyre sinful and that they are doing wrong to admit that jesus is your savior means that you are admitting that you are living your life in sin, and that you need to be saved.  it is natural for people to sin, and to leave your sinful ways is very difficult.  many people would rather choose to ignore it and pass it off as fiction so they will not feel grievance
