All those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.—Acts 13:48.

 

How can we know who are “rightly disposed for everlasting life”? As in the first century, the only way to find those people is to give a witness. Thus, we need to do just as Jesus instructed: “Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving.” (Matt. 10:11) We do not expect insincere people, haughty individuals, or those with no spiritual inclination to respond favorably to the good news. We are looking for people who are honest, humble, and hungry for the truth. We can liken this search to what Jesus as a carpenter might have done in looking for just the right wood for making furniture, doors, yokes, or other things. Once he found suitable material, he could get his toolbox, use his skill, and make the item. We must do likewise as we endeavor to make disciples of honesthearted people.—Matt. 28:19, 20. w18.10 12 ¶3-4

We are looking for the ones rightly disposed for everlasting life! We are not looking for the haughty, phony, know it alls who don't want to listen! We are looking for the humble, meek, teachable and eager to learn the truth!
