Is it possible that someone could know all of the Truth necessary to be saved and still go to hell? Yes, sadly this is what has frustrated me somewhat but leaves me waiting for the Spirit of God to work.
A man who has attended our English classes and even visited a church service is very knowledgeable of the Bible. He has many times quoted scripture while we were drinking coffee. So why does he chose to not believe that Jesus died for his sin and trust Him as Savior? Perhaps he cannot forgive the Catholic church for lying and hiding so much corruption. Or, he has just heard so much false teaching that he is unsure as to what is Truth. Either way, he is still lost today and very much in need of making a decision to believe in Christ.
So I share this with you today because I cannot make him chose. The choice is his to make. I have done my part to tell him and live as an example for him. Now I am praying that he will realize that the Bible is the True account of God's Word. Will you please pray with me. He is so close that it is difficult to wait for the Holy Spirit to speak to his heart. Yet, I must wait as well as be ready to answer with meekness and fear when he asks for the reason of my hope (I Peter 3:15).
It has been my experience that most people do not trust Christ as Savior the very first time the gospel is presented to them. For this purpose I seek to establish relationships with the people with whom I share the gospel so that I can keep it before them both in word and in action. It requires me to be willing to share the gospel at every opportunity but also doing so with love and compassion. I believe that it is the Word of God that will convict a sinner yet reveal to him the hope of redemption in Christ. Faithfully presenting the gospel and teaching repentance from sin is my calling. Please pray for my faithfulness and consistency. Thank you.
