Cynicism can keep unbelievers from submitting to God and receiving new life. But cynicism can also be a barrier for those who are saved, keeping us from fully trusting God and submitting to his leading. So we have to be aggressive at rooting out cynicism.
If you doubt the goodness of God, don't kick the can down the road. Don't put it off. Deal with it now! Respond to yourself in a rational, prayerful, logical, urgent way.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
