2Peter; 3:3-4
(knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lust, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have from the beginning of creation.")
When we are witnessing to people, sometimes we will have someone say this very thing. But God told us to expect this towards the end times. I have experienced this a few time in the last few years and this verse always comes to mind. They will tell you, "Sure Jesus is coming, we've been hearing that all our lives and He hasn't came yet." To me, this just encourages me more knowing that God has told me to be ready to hear this from people.
When you are talking to others, have you ever wondered why they just don't get it. It's seems so simple to you, yet so hard for them? We were the same way until God gave His Spirit to teach us.
1Corinthians; 2:14
(But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.)
So when you are talking to people about Jesus and the Bible and they just don't seem to understand, there is a reason for it. God is the one who gives us the light of the Scripture, and without His help, we would not be able to discern divine truth. Remember, we can do nothing without God, but with God, all things are possible. Keep being a light in a dark world and keep telling others the good news about Jesus.
God Bless You!
