I think some people don't feel they could ever be worthy. I believe nowadays people aren't taught the word young enough and then as they grow they form habits that are harder to change and don't know or understand it's not hard to believe Jesus died on the Cross to save us all from our sins. Amen

In my opinion, I believe many folks choose not to follow because they are either misled, confused or just don't want to be told how to live their lives and are directed by human nature as opposed to the holy spirit. And, whether this is the evil one working hard to alienate these people from JESUS and eternal salvation, there is always hope that one can turn and follow JESUS despite one's sins.
