"The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people. They know they are bad. They have no defense. The hardest ones to win for God are the self-righteous people"

- Charles L. Allen

About this Quote

This quote by Charles L. Allen speaks to the problem of reaching those who are self-righteous with the love of God. Self-righteous people are frequently the hardest to win for God due to the fact that they believe they are currently good and do not need to be saved. They have an incorrect complacency and are often reluctant to accept the grace of God. They are so concentrated on their own righteousness that they are unable to acknowledge their own sin and need for a rescuer. The bad individuals, on the other hand, are a lot easier to reach due to the fact that they know they are bad and have no defense. They are more open up to the love of God and want to accept His grace.
