" For the natural man receives NOT the things of the Spirirt of God , for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned" - I Corin. 2:14
We need the Holy Spirit of God to reveal the Truth to us.

I am afraid that our experience is "If it sounds too good to be true, then it is "too good to be true".
Strange how an open mined person easily accepts God and Jesus. Proof: Children get saved very easily.
Before you say, Children are ignorant or stupid or Naive, please recall a few children you have known that were very very smart.
Now, by the time we reach a certain age, or a certain amount of exposure to this world, we become so skeptical that we eventually don't believe in anything or anyone.
Now, your question has helped me understand why Jesus' said "no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they do so as small children."
Don't be so surprised, do you not believe that you cannot fall in love until you first trust the person. And, now maybe you can no longer fall in love because you no longer trust anyone.
Children and open-minded people can accept what they can't explain because they tend to trust people.
But most of us have a hard time accepting what we can't explain because we no longer trust other people.

I don't really understand your question, but I'm going to try to answer it. God gave free will (actually Adam and Eve chose freewill for us), but when all seemed lost God sent his son Jesus through the Virgin Mary. Then Jesus sacrificed himself for us, so that we could be free of sins as long as we repent. It's very simple, people have a hard time accepting Jesus because they either want to be ruler's of their own life's or they don't bother to read what God's message is.

Come now, children. repeat after me ...
god is an imaginary entity. There is no such thing. It is all in the mind. All religion is fake and man-made invention.
Look and see. Ask and get the answers. Reality beckons.
Atheism is the only logical choice IF you have an active brain.

I would have to say because life is beautiful. Much like when a married couple decides to have a Baby. God loves us so much that knows every hair on our heads.
Now life will become even more grand when we are reunited with God in Heaven. God wants all his children to return home to him.

As you have already read, most Christians cannot explain these things without the help of Bible passages because they believe it is the only way to explain stuff. This is their way of accepting life.

All things are but God expressing his vision of himself. "God dwells within you as you". All knowledge is within you. You can have access to this knowledge. Seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened unto you. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all else will be added unto you. The kingdom of God is within you. Closet yourself and Pray. Worship God in spirit and in truth.

God created us because he loved us, we have to except things by faith, just like we have faith that the chairs we sit in will hold our weight. We have to believe that God is REAL and that he truly LOVES us!!

Then it would be too easy. How would God have an excuse for giving you a reward for doing what is right if it required no effort on your part?

Pride. in the form of not risking being made fun of in front of others. Until others can explain it also.

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
