4) Many people are simply resisting the Holy Spirit’s attempts to draw them to faith in Christ. Stephen, a leader in the early church, told those who were about to murder him, “You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit!” (Acts 7:51).
4) Maraming tao ang tinatanggihan ang Banal na Espiritu sa paglalapit sa kanila sa pananampalataya kay Kristo. Sinabi ni Esteban na isang lider ng iglesya sa mga taong papatay sa kanya, "Napakatigas ng ulo ninyo! Di pa nababago ang inyong kalooban! Ayaw ninyong dinggin ang katotohanan!" (Gawa 7:51).
