To keep peace of mind let people live the way they have chose, even scripture tells us the same. For even when all is said and done and Christ has returned some people will be how they are to the very end! This does not hinder us from preaching the good news of the gospel though, but did you know that even the wicked were created for the day of evil? Even though those with evil intent band together they will not go unpunished, for God knows the hearts of all men (Proverbs 16:1-6) The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
It is our human nature that we try to change or control the choices of another, but there is only one we can change and that is ourselves. We must allow God to be God and as we do so it allows His hand to move on our behalf. The day will come for all of us that every knee will bow before the Lord (Revelation 22:11-13) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
There is a day coming when the sheep of the Lord will be separated from the goats, the chaff will be winnowed from the wheat and Gods hand will sweep across the land. The many choices we have made will come to light and they will no longer be hid from the Lord whose eyes have viewed all our actions. The word‘s we are to live by are for all eternity! (Hebrews 4:12,13) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Amen, we can always share the Gospel of our Lord and His love to someone who doesn’t believe in him yet but we need to set an example. There is a song called they will know we are Christians by our Love and nothing else just like Christ loves us.
Yes! John 13:35 truly shows others of the love we have for Christ, when we reflect His love to others. Blessings.

All I can tell folks is that choices are like the law in physics that states: “For every action there is a reaction.” The law holds true to making choices: “For every choice there is a consequence.” I call it the simplistic physics in making choices. It’s also wise to look before one leaps. LOLGB+
Excellent comment! It’s also wise to look before one leaps is Sage advice.Take Care and stay the course. Blessings.
