Bible Question: How do you convince someone of their need for Chirst, if they do not see it? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
