At our Pre-Seminary gathering yesterday, we considered reflections from a guy who advocates “listening” as opposed to “talking” with regard to evangelism. “We can’t argue someone into faith,” he points out.
In our conversation, we admitted how impossible it is to convince someone to believe in Jesus. Even if we were to find some way to get them to accept the logic, how can they “love,” when they were moved to agree based on arguments?
I remember a slogan, read off one of those church signs: We are not to change people so God will love them; we are to love people so God can change them.
God loves us, while we were yet sinners. God’s love is not dependent upon our actions. When one becomes aware of being loved it changes what we think and believe.
