When two men robbed Charles of $5,000, he just stood and cried. He couldn't help it, because the robbers threw pepper into his eyes. They threw pepper in his eyes, grabbed his money, jumped into a waiting car, and fled.
In like manner, Satan throws the "pepper" of blinding sin into the eyes of his victims as he robs them of their most valuable possession—their precious soul. We are told in the Bible that "the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." 2 Cor. 4:44In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Sin blinds people to the value of their souls, to their own sinfulness and to their need of the Savior. It also blinds them to the fact that Christ has died in order to purchase them "with His own blood" (Acts 20:2828Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)), paying the complete price of their redemption.
All you have to do is to believe it, to accept it as an accomplished fact, and then to trust and rely on His sacrifice to be eternally saved. Have you put your trust in Him, my friend? If not—why not now?
