Let us consider which of us is sick.
A man is unwittingly heading towards a cliff.
I am standing nearby and yelling at him, warning him of the cliff and impending doom. "Turn back," I plead.
You observe my efforts and accuse me of "desiring his torture".
Meanwhile you are standing by, giving him a :thumb: and reassuring him that everything will be "okay".
Which of us is demonstrating love and which of us is desiring the hurt of the wayward?
The love of Christ compells us to reach the lost. The love of God in our hearts is what compells us to give them the gospel. They are lost smaller and need Jesus. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. Your efforts will effectively damn many who might have otherwise turned in faith to Jesus and escaped.
