"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
If you are dealing with someone who just wont latch on to the power of God, whether it is salvation, or any other issue within their life, the best way to serve them is by using the Word of God. Speak scripture to them, show them where it is at, pray it for them, pray it with them, read it with them, email them, or write them, whatever God leads you to do. So many times we try to speak of a similar situation in our own life to comfort or aid a person, but the Word is profitable for the perfecting of the Saints. People sometimes feel that their situation is far worse than yours was and you could never understand or even compare your life with their misery. But the Word of God has life and the Word of God is what has made us perfect and the Word of God has thoroughly prepared us for instruction in righteousness. It does not matter if we say it with its chapter number and verse number, or just say it, the Word of our Father will not fall void to the earth, it will accomplish what He has intended for it to do. We may see it, or we may not. We may be used by God to plant a seed that He uses another person to water, and than has another harvest, but it was God Who made it grow. And Jesus has led us all in the path of being used to further the Kingdom of God!
All scripture is given by Divine inspiration. We have been honored by God Himself to become one with it. The sower sows the Word of God, some may fall on stony ground, some in the thorns, some in shallow soil, but some will fall in good ground, and it will produce a crop of 30, 60, or 100 fold! With the Word we are perfectly and thoroughly equipped to be used by God to do all good works!
