Will Jesus ever give up on a non-beleiver?

I just wanted to add one more thing, I sure am thankful God never gave up on me.
Someone was praying for me.   

Amen Sister!

It is God's desire for all men to come to Christ, however we know that God has given man free will to choose as they may. However that does not mean that because we may not see it or know it that they won't be saved. We don' know people's hearts the way God does. But we have the faith and the ability to pray, withor giving up. Who knows, we might find people in heaven we would never thought would make it, and we might be missing some we were sure would. All we can do is keep loving them, praying for them, and gently leading and teaching them.

Amen! airIam2worship.  We will be surprised to see 'certain people' there.  Ultimately it is God's judgement.  Like pointed out earlier, we will never know man's heart.  To an extent we know by the fruits, but there is a lot hidden from each other, which He only can bring out and throw away for good.

They may accept Jesus tommorrow...or not. We need to pray and love them as they are.    Continue to have discussions and pointing to Jesus.

We do all this...the Spirit is willing but the flesh is not!! and we (I) log on to a forum and ask 'Will Jesus ever give up on a non-beleiver?'!

Jesus?  Give UP?  I don't think so.  If that were the case, He wouldn't have died for us.

I fully hope too!  But when man continually eludes or is bipolar to gospel then...?

[Soldier4Christ]

Is that giving up on them or just leaving them to their own devices??

Isn't there a time when God just says "OK I've given you chance after chance after chance and you still didn't come, so you're on your own?"  (Paraphrasing of course)

Pastor?

   I think that there is a line for every person.  I think that the line is different for each person.  I also believe that the line is so far out that there are very few that ever reach it.  The only person that I can think of that might have reached that point is Hitler, maybe.  Even Paul, who once was Saul and killed God's people, had not gone too far to come back to God.  I think that God is so careing and forgiving that it would take a lot for him to give up on anyone.

Exodus 4:21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you return into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all those miracles and wonders which I have put in your hand; but I will make him stubborn and harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.

Exodus 9:12  But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, making it strong and obstinate, and he did not listen to them or heed them, just as the Lord had told Moses.

From all I have read in Scripture, we have hope as long as we draw breath. I agree with talker cat...He died for us, as payment for our sins, once and for all, for every sin...past, present, and future...leaving each of us the hope of salvation, regardless of how heinous our sins might be. And we ALL have the opportunity to repent as long as we are in this physical realm. His death on the cross pretty much made His commitment to us a done deal.

When our hearts are hardened, it becomes more DIFFICULT to accept His gift, but mot impossible. God's desire is that "no one should perish" and that kinda tells me He never gives up on us.

Just my take on His Word.
