“Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.”
Jeremiah 31:3 

One of David Livingstone’s first converts was an African chief, Sechale, who thought he could make his tribesmen believe by force. So he suggested one day to Livingstone, “I shall call my head men, and with our whips of rhinoceros hide, we will soon make them all believe together.” He did not realize that the natural man is dead spiritually and that a rhinoceros- hide whip cannot make a man believe; only the Holy Spirit can do so.
