"The rich man answered, `Then I beg you, father. Send Lazarus to my family. [28] I
have five brothers. Let Lazarus warn them. Then they will not come to this place of terrible suffering.' [29] "Abraham replied, `They have the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. Let your brothers listen to them.' [30] " `No, father Abraham,' he said. `But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will turn away from their sins.' [31] "Abraham said to him, `They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' " Luke 16:27-31 NIrV
The Word of God is the most persuasive tool we have to warn people about the danger of suffering in hell, so they can be saved. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16-17). Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom. 10:17).
