Compelled by Christ’s love: 
So live to persuade others – God knows our hearts
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:11 “Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men.  What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”

Compelled by Christ’s love:
Be open and honest about what we believe
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.”

Compelled by Christ’s love:
We are convinced that Jesus died for us
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:13 “If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.  14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.  15And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”
