No, it wouldnt be easier. there is no faith there. Not only that, even if Jesus were here today, many would say, YOu arent Jesus, just like they did in Bible times, even killed Him. God tells us about Himself, and says Seek and ye shall find and all will be added onto you. The door to God is open, and its up to us whether we knock on that door or not.
ITs not up to God to knock on your door. He wrote the book tht tells us just how to find Him, not His fault if noone wil read it or refuse to accept it once they do read it.
We have noone to blame but self we we never find God.\What mystery? Its only a mystery to those that dont study and pray and KNow God and HIs word. There is no mystery there once you do.
Is this a test? Sort of. You get one chance to show yourself to God as one of His children and be saved, and you can take that and pass in victory in lose in defeat, cuz the devil pulled you the other way.
All about choice. Let noone keep you from passing the most important test of your life>
Dont look to other christians. Look onlly to God for answers. Then, God tells us the mysteries of it all are revealed. and they are. Precious precious Jesus, so neat to truly know Hm, Love Him and obey Him. mystery? NO , not anymore

Find out what happened when God introduced himself on Mount Sinai (in the book of Exodus).
This question gets old after a while.

And if God could fit into your house, would you even believe Him?
As for the mystery, yes, its a test.
Life is a test of faith.

To many, yes, it SEEMS easier to ask that Yahweh come directly to you; to be "physically" in your home.
One day, according to the Word of Yahweh. A man is going to come into this world and perform many miracles; in the sight of millions of people. This man, according to the Bible; is the Anti-Christ.
Many will make the mistake of believing in him, instead of the One True and Everlasting God - Yahweh.
Yeshua (Jesus Christ) said "Blessed are those who believe and have NOT seen."

Bible quote: "knock and I shall answer, seek and yee shall find, ask and ye shall be answered". Now let's look at it this way, if you want a date for Friday night,would you expect the day to "show up and introduce themselves". You have to get into a relationship with God.

He does in a way. Most people have a Bible in their homes, and through the pages of the Bible we can learn about God, His purposes, and what He requires of us. For example, His name, Jehovah, appears around 7,000 times in the original text.

He says in His Holy Word that He revealed Himself through nature- so that ALL people would have a chance to see what he is - the beautiful gentle side (flowers, meadows,) and the powerful side (ocean, mountains) and so that no one can claim ignorance on the day of judgment. He also said that he wrote eternity on the hearts of men- so that it would cause us to think about these things ;) hence your question

Without faith it is impossible to please God. That is what He wants, faith. That is how He made a covanant with Abraham which He is still keeping. Some people would still not believe in God if He showed up in their house today.

everything that is worth something isn't always easy. don't take the easy way out! yes, it is a test of faith. he stands at the door knocking, if you repent of your sins and believe in him through faith he will come in and live in your heart and give you eternal life.
you must be thinking about it for you to ask this question. please find a pastor or someone to talk to before it is to late.
i will be praying for you and hope to see you there!
