Since then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:11, 13-14, 19–20, NIV 1984).
My Musings – “Christ’s love compels” me, through my musings and advice, to “appeal,” “implore,” and “persuade” my readers to “be reconciled to God” through faith in Jesus Christ. And having done so, to continue to grow in that faith. It is not my place to tell anyone what they must believe, but rather what I wish they would believe. Ultimately, they are free to believe or not. For while “[I am] convinced,” they must become convinced themselves. It must not and cannot be forced upon them.
My Advice – “Short time or long [few musings or many]—I pray God that…all who are ‘listening’ to me today may become what I am.” (Acts 26:29, NIV 1984). A devoted believer in and follower of Jesus Christ.
