HOW CAN CHRISTIANS DO THIS?

Question

I can't do it. I can't do it.

How do other Christians do it. I mean how can you know you're loved ones will go to Hell if they dont recieve the Light of God. I hate living with the burdon of knowing this and sometimes just being around all my aithest friends just makes me wanna cry. They are really really nice but full of sin, I want to help them but they will hear nothing of it. I pray for grace from God but I want your prayers too, because I need God's help to get through. I mean URGH... its sooo frustrating. I don't wanna see ANYONE go to Hell. Not even the haters and trolls who are persuctuing me for being a Beliver. How can I know that God will set them Free?

Answer 1

Pray, and try to talk to them. invite them to church with you.

Answer 2

It is not an easy thing when you are convinced that Jesus is the only way to salvation. you can improve your apologetics and witnessing skills, but ultimately it depends on if they will reject the call of the Holy Spirit and come to salvation.

Some people harden their hearts and simply will not come to faith. see sower of the seed in Luke 8.



Even Jesus lamented over Jerusalem because they would not receive him.



Matthew 23:37-39

New International Version (NIV)

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."



Continue to witness and pray.



For basic apologetics,I do like the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek

Answer 3

Whether your unbelieving friends are set free is neither up to you nor to God. It's their choice and that choice is a gift from God. He cannot take it back or alter it in any way. I have many loved ones who are unbelievers as well. I used to beat my head against the wall trying to understand why things are the way they are. Now I just pray for them that the Lord will find a way to open their hearts. Know that it's God will that none be lost and that all come to repentance so He will do everything He can to bring your loved ones close to Him without violating their free will in the process.



One we are in heaven and have been rid of our own sin nature we'll understand clearly as God does now. We will have no regrets about those who don't make it. And if I read Scripture correctly, we will not even remember them. Isaiah 65:17 says: Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. God will not allow anything to spoil our joy. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)



PS: Listen to these and share them ...

Answer 4

For one, remember that it is only your job to tell them about Jesus' sacrifice and their need for salvation.

The Holy Spirit is the one responsible for conversion.

The Bible tells us what to expect in the best situation: some will believe, some will "consider" and some will say "what is this mocker saying"?

Chances are, your testimony and the good things you do and say will mean more to them than telling anyone to "turn or burn". Religious propaganda of many kinds has jaded people from considering knowledge contrary to what they have been taught in secular society. Jesus first, other stuff later. And it is ok if you don't have all the answers to all the questions. It is ok to say "I don't know" and then do a little research until you DO know the answer. The answers are out there.

Answer 5

Absolutely, Mary.... I have unsaved loved ones and friends........and some just do NOT want to hear about salvation....Not from us..... Jesus said that a prophet is not honoured in their own home....and just like that, our loved ones don't want to "receive" anything spiritual from us. Too much familiarity is one reason....and the fact that, being lost, they are deceived by satan.... Everyone has FREE WILL given to them BY GOD and nobody can be FORCED or coerced into believing against their will. I know how much it hurts, but we just have to keep praying that God will send someone that they WILL listen to and he can touch the hearts of our loved ones through someone else.........and we might be used to help reach someone else's loved one in answer to prayer.





God bless you. Don't give up. My sister is alive and with me in my life because God heard my prayers......and brought her back to me......... I know the LOVE and MERCY of God is so totally REAL. I see it everyday in my sister's life and I will NEVER stop thanking God for ALL that He has done in her life. To me, it's a miracle....and my sister believes that as well., I just can't bear to imagine my life without her............. THANK YOU, FATHER!!!!!! <3

Answer 6

It's so encouraging to know your heart! You're doing very good that you love the lost ones! They will only be saved if they hold on to these points of salvation:



We are saved by:

- Faith

- Repentance

- Holiness

- Calling on the Lord

- Grace

- Hope

- Confessing Jesus as Lord

- Godly sorrow (Repentance)

- Baptism (Decision)

- Endurance

- Obedience

Answer 7

Consider the thief on the cross who with his last breath asked Jesus for forgiveness:



Thief: "Remember, me when you come unto the Kingdom of Heaven"



Jesus replied: "Today, you will be with me in Paradise"



One can never really know what will be the outcome of anyone on this Earth.

Obviously, our Lord would love to see a person come to Him in a more favorable condition, but with Christ all things are possible.



God bless'

Answer 8

By not worrying and letting God sort it all out.



The way He designed the universe is by keeping a balance of energy. There must be equal positive to equal negative. Trust in the Lord that this is how the Creator of the Universe works. Let your faith that things are as they should be dissolve your anguish.



We have free choice. Choose for yourself a positive path and understand and love others who use their freedom of choice to balance out your positive with negative. Be grateful to them for balancing out the scale.



Have faith in God and trust the wicked do you a huge favor by sacrificing themselves to stand on the negative side. Their willingness to volunteer to follow the negative path is a gift to you, to balance out your choice to follow the righteous path.



the Lord has designed the universe in such a way as there must be a balance.



Not everyone can not be on the positive side. They are there to test your trust in the Lord and through your faith that He is the one behind how the universe works, and who makes everything that happens happen, if you are wise you'll accept his unfolding of the universe with joy and embrace God's grace instead of condemning it and worrying that He is making a mistake.



God is perfecT.. Have faith that the universe is unfolding as it should and cheer up. .

Answer 9

Grace unto you, and peace,

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.



Pst: Law = all vanity and VEXATION of Spirit;

http://www.godshew.org/RevelatorySermons24.htm



So

when you flush law as dung, because

law = both good and evil, then

your FRUSTRATION will "vanish"

http://www.godshew.org/Vanish.html



The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 10

You can't know. The best you can do is pray they turn their hearts to God before it's too late. The rest is up to them.

Answer 11

They do it by claiming that atheists and "sinners" send themselves there. To the sane person, this is the same as blaming a murder victim for refusing to hand over money when threatened with a gun. It is the person holding the gun responsible for the murder, not the murder victim. The same applies to the God that you believe in.

Answer 12

It seems, while you cant quite accept your friends, you care about them, you need to accept them. Plus, when you end up with the bigots trolls and homophobes in heaven, hell wont seem so bad.

Answer 13

Keep sharing the gospel, pray, and be a good example.



God may open their hearts.

Answer 14

Guess what, according to the Jewish and the Muslims....you will be right there with them.
