WE PERSUADE PEOPLE2 Corinthians 5:102 Corinthians 5:10 NET NET For we must all appear before the judgment seat of

Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or

evil.

WE PERSUADE PEOPLEWE PERSUADE PEOPLE

1111 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we try to

persuade people, but we are well known to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences

too.


WENot supernatural beings.

Angels will not do the work for us.The Holy SSpirit does not

do it for us.Nor will the Father or Son

do this work.Not non-Christians, they would not teach

saving Truth.


Christians must do this work; God left the spreading of the gospel into our

hands.1 Corinthians 1:211 Corinthians 1:21 NET NET For since in the wisdom

of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save

those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.


Romans 10:14 NET How are they to call on one they have not believed in?

And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And

how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?


15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is

written, "How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good

news."


16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has

believed our report?" 17 Consequently faith comes from what is

heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.


PERSUADEWe cannot force people to accept

the truth, only persuade.

People are free moral agents, thus having the power of choice.


Romans 12:1Romans 12:1 NET NET Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice — alive, holy, and pleasing to God —

which is your reasonable service.


PEOPLEWe don’t try to persuade God.

He iss ssupremeWe must persuade those who are

not Christians to become reconciled to God.


Acts 26:28 NET Agrippa said to Paul, "In such a short time are you persuading me to become a

Christian?"


2 Corinthians 5:182 Corinthians 5:18 NET NET And all these things are from God who

reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the

ministry of reconciliation.


1919 In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,

not counting people's trespasses against them, and he has given us

the message of reconciliation.


2020 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His plea through us. We plead with you on Christ's behalf,

"Be reconciled to God!"


2121 God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that

in him we would become the righteousness of God.

Conclusion Conclusion

There is a child in the road and we see a car is going to hit the child, would we doo nnothing (turn our backs to it) or try

with all our being to save the child from being hit (even to the

endangering of ourselves)?

ConclusionConclusion

Do we have the same desire for man’s salvation that Paul had for the Jew’s salvavation? Romans 9:3Romans 9:3 NET NET For I could wish that I myself were accursed — cut off from Christ — for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen,


Romans 10:1Romans 10:1 NET NET Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to

God on behalf of my fellow Israelites is for their salvation.


The task of persuading people Jesus is The Christ is ours!!
