Here are examples, that despite giving ample evidences and demonstrations, it does not serve to convict a heart. It had been buried in the heart, whether one wills to believe or the deny.
e.g. A doctor can prescript the best medication and treatment to the patient, yet we still have some who defy and choose their own way.
e.g. Financial Consultants can lay down your life-time financial management, but many will drop off somewhere, somehow, thinking that we could manage them by instinct or our own knowledge.
The same happened in the Bible about Jesus. He wasn't well-received in His home town (Matt13:53-58); the Pharisees and Sadducee did not turn their heart after Jesus had perform various miracles in their presence; the rich young men had already decided in his heart that wealth is too much to give up, etc. The list goes on and on.... Romans 1:20, gives us a good illustration of why we have no excuse not to believe in God.
Promises are for those who believe and seeks them in God. God welcomes those, like little children (Matt 18:3), for the Kingdom of Heaven are for these believing ones. God promises, in the Bible, peace, joy, fulfilled life with no regrets, and heavenly treasures that help us focus upwards not on all the pain on earth.
Faith always pertains to the heart, if we seek diligently, humbly, honestly, and obediently. I'm sure we can find God and taste His Goodness. Lets not decide in our hearts to deny Him.
