Leroy just laughed. That was his way of suppressing the truth about the judgment to come (Rom. 1; Heb. 9:27). He used to be a Jehovah's Witness for 18 years but has abandoned all faith and is now going his own way. I urged him to reconsider his direction in life and his destiny, emphasizing that he could indeed know the Truth, Jesus Christ, who is the one and only Gate to God (John 10, 14). He just laughed. It made me sad for him.
I turned my attention to his buddy. "What about you," I asked. "If you died today do you know what your eternal destiny would be?" "Straight up," he said. "Heaven," I asked. "Yes," he said. That's great, I said. How do you know for sure? He couldn't answer that one. He just thought he was going. I walked through the gospel with him in order to explain how he could know for sure (1 John 5:11-13), while Leroy listened.
Leroy said they had to go to their court appearance, so he grabbed his buddy to go in the courthouse. I urged them to repent and trust Christ before it's too late.
