Amen! We should never, ever give up. And never, ever stop reaching out to them. But we also have to stay patient and respect God's timing. And show them the Love of God, in action. That speaks volumes louder than Scripture sometimes, if they can see Him in us. Then they will go read the Bible on their own and hopefully be saved.Thanks Emli for clarifying your thoughts and for agreeing that there is life in the Bible. I fully understand what you mean that many will not receive the seed of the Word into their hearts. It is like seed thrown by the way side. While the parable of the Sower is talking about the entire life of individuals, I also see that that part of the parable could convey the truth that a person can hear the seed of the Word of God and refuse it, but then at a later point in time, they could receive the Word into their hearts, too.
Meaning.... we have to have.... HOPE.
Hope and prayer for those who do reject God's Word in what we have shown them. They may have rejected that seed at one point in time, but God can bring it back to them. Like Jonah, who did not want to go and preach to the Ninevites. God had other plans for him.
We have to hold out hope for all people.
Loving them with the love of God.
