jrcochran- welcome to the forum. The short answer is, you can't. Sometimes that is hard to accept, especially when it's a loved one we're concerned about. Only the Holy Spirit can convict a person in a way that they realize their sin for what it is while at the same time realizing the need for Christ. See John 16:8 to start with. They will never "see it" until God reveals it to them. Our responsibility is the witness of our own lifestyle, lived in obedience to the Lord according to His word. We can and should share the word with them, and then only trust God. Too often I have found myself trying to do God's part in convincing someone of the truth, including their fallen state and need for a savior. It's frustrating and defeating. What has helped me is to remember that God has not given me the responsibility to convince anyone; He has only called us to tell it. See Mark 16:15 God bless, Jeff |

Dear Brother Jeff, "What has helped me is to remember that God has not given me the responsibility to convince anyone." Amen, brother. Isn't His yoke easy and His burden light that we are to preach as a messenger but not to convince! Shalom Azure |

Yes sister- the yoke is easy and the burden is light. Especially when we focus on our part and have faith in Him to do His. I'm guessing that you too may have had those early experiences of trying to convince others. I say early experiences, but the truth is, I'm not immune to slipping back in that direction at times. I believe that one way we can measure that is when we feel frustrated in the effort. Then we might see that we are trying to do more than we are called to do and, of course, more than we are cabable of doing. I'm going through that right now with family members so I believe I might understand where ircochran is coming from. Pray faithfully and believe just as faithfully and know that His will, will be accomplished. God bless, Jeff |
