John 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone...
It is our responsibility to obey and spread the Gospel.
John 11:43 ...he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
It is God who gives salvation, not us.
If we preach and they believe not, we cannot be any less diligent.
If we preach and they believe, we must not be so quick to think we somehow played a major role.
We must pray, that God uses us within His Grace, and not without, for that would be the most tragic ending of all.
