There are numerous reasons.
1st, is it really from God?
2nd, why would I want to speak gibberish? (keep in mind that I *have* and still don't get this)
3rd, aside from "getting saved" that some of y'all here think it's for, what is the purpose of this?
4th, what benefit comes with this?
5th, what new or greater responsibility comes with it?

Yeah, say it's a gift. Nothing else God does works that way. There's always a give and a take, so what is it here?

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
