Luke 10:9-12
9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ 12 But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
This may not be our approach to those who refuse to listen to the gospel, but important principles apply. There is a point at which their refusal leads us to move on to those who have an ear to hear, for we cannot force the truth where no work of God is active in the listener. They individually are held accountable on the day they stand before our God, and our responsibility is to bear witness of the truth and allow God to convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment.
