I preached a message on this similar called when the Holy Spirit calls your bluff! Many believe, but few really do! I based this off of being lead through my life experiences and my salvation, including my own head knowledge.
I lost two of my closest friends that were further away from God than I ever was as a lost teen. I wasn't in church, but I I had a head knowledge of Jesus! They seemed further away and I always talked about Jesus to them, never being a true witness. It took my dad dying to bring me to Christ in heart in early 1997.
I remember both of my friends denying God and Jesus as a joke. Both died, I was 15 when the first died as we were huffing gas and had a fire, he was 16, March 1st 1991. He burnt an old bible we found in an abandoned garage a few weeks earlier and I asked him not to do it, he seemed to think it wasn't a big deal.
My other friend died in a car wreck May of 1995, he was 17 at the time. I was talking to him about Jesus and us changing our lives a week before, he seemed to think it was a joke. He was there the night our first friend got burned up. It was me, him and another good friend who has had multiple stokes now. We called ourselves the four horseman in our hood. The only reason I wasn't in the car with the second friend was me and his close cousin got in a fight a week before. Everyone that knew me and him would have swore we would have been together. He hit a telephone pole and the transformer fell from the pole and the car caught fire! The crazy thing is they both lived for a time! Maybe it was God's grace!
Two years later I got saved and question where they are now! Wondering where they are now I am sorry I wasn't a better witness! But I only had head knowledge at that time. May 29 1997 Jesus saved my soul, but I've often wondered how some could be so cold towards a loving creator! I'll never understand God's grace, but it's amazed me more than anything man or scientist can present to me! GODS GRACE IN MY LIFE IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER WITNESSED! His testimony in my life and you only know the part, is amazing! I think everyone has a rejection day that let's them go! I wouldn't put the Spirit off too long if I were you, you don't need me to tell you!
