RE: steemchurch: ¿How to pray for our unconverted family?
God wants everyone to be saved but people have free will.
(Matthew 7:13-14 NIV) "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. {14} But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
If you're praying for someone's salvation it means that God has already put a Christian in their life.
You can pray that God will help the person understand the gospel when they hear it.
Otherwise when you pray for the salvation of someone you're asking God to change their free will so they can accept Christ out their own free will. It's a contradiction that doesn't make any sense.
He has free will ... But that same verse says it very clearly that the wide path is of perdition and the strait is of salvation and that is what God wants with all of us Salvation, where few find it, the mere fact that a member of the family is understood in the word of God, only with the help of prayer and with his own testimony, the Holy Spirit treats the other members of the family, Ephesians 6:12 Because we have no struggle against blood or flesh (the world) but on the spiritual plane
