Isnt it interesting, that the efforts of Christians are not to convince, but to reveal since God has already separated His children from the beginning.
And so our love for Jesus will either draw a soul and develop it or repel it and harden it in its unholiness. All of the opportunities that we give for others to hurt us reveal their hearts by whether they choose to do it or not.
All of these things are to reveal and not to change. There is the change of conversion as the heart is opened to Christ and old habits are turned away from, but these are realizations of one's true selves.
(after reading Spurgeon's sermon Separating the Precious from the Vile)
God's call is irrevocable Romans 11.29
