Someone has said,' The first duty of the Christian is to persuade others to accept the offer of God. In the last analysis we can never argue a man into Christianity. All we can say is.''Try it and see!''Often when JWs come to my door,I try to be patient with them,try to show them from scripture the truth,it just becomes an argument. It all seems pointless,but one hopes that the Holy Spirit may break into their lives, convicting them,one thing we can do is pray that God will use something one has said to touch their hearts.God is sovereign,He tells us that his word will accomplish His purpose (Isaiah 55 v11).That word that a person has heard may lie dormant for years,and the Spirit can bring it back to a person even in old age, never underestimate the word of God.Consider, by the word of God all things came into being,we are told it is powerful ,Hebrews 4 v12.The Lord says,''Is not My word like a fire?.....and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?. Jeremiah 23 v29. The stony hearts of men can be broken down,and they can be humbled.As Matthew Henry says, 'The unhumbled heart of man is like a rock; if it will not be melted by the word of God as a fire, it will be broken to pieces by it as a hammer'.When you witness to someone. water that witness by your prayers and even your tears,in Psalm 126 v 5 we read,'Those who sow in tears shall reap in Joy'.
