Prayer Request - Salvation

[paints]

I have a friend who is a Jehovah's Witness.  We have been friends for a little over a year now and I am praying that God would have mercy on her and show her grace and open her eyes to the truth of His Word.  I don't know if God will use me to accomplish that, if that is His will, and I'm not going into the Bible discussions thinking He will because only God can change her heart but I do pray that He would.

What a horrible thing to think you're right with God, only to come face to face with Christ and hear Him say, "I never knew you.  Depart from me you workers of iniquity."

What a horrible blow that must be.  Although God is right and good and just to judge, and He will be glorified in that!

Also praying for the salvation of my Dad, who thinks he is right with God because he is a "good person" and the salvation of the father of my children, who outright hates God and openly rebels against him and embraces his sin.

I love all of these people dearly and would hate for them to spend eternity in Hell.

Are you a new Christian?

It is true that only God can save and open a heart. We are called to witness and the bible was given to us by God to help us with that. It may not always be good to start with the bible but at some time in our witness it has to be used. By showing your friend God's word is a path to a open heart. The best way to learn about God is through his word in the bible and through participation in a bible believing church. You can only witness never stop, that's your part, the rest is up to God's timing. My dad prayed for me for 20 years to be saved and thank God he never stopped or I may still be lost today.

a wise person said
"it doesn't matter what religion a person practices. If the religious affiliation brings them close to God, that is the main thing."

God is the judge. We are not.
There are many religious people who think they need to save everyone.

It doesnt matter what we practice???LOL!!

Go read how Jesus felt about the Pharisees...here it is if you desire to look it up..the scriptures are referenced!!

Jesus warned his disciples: “Watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” (Luke 12:1) A parallel account of Jesus’ words makes it clear that he was condemning “the teaching” of the Pharisees.—Matt. 16:12.

The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.
