Loving and Respectful

Loving and Respectful
James the Half brother of Jesus said,
“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,  
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!” James 2:12,13.
One of my favourite quotes from the late American Evangelist Billy Graham is,
“It is the Holy Spirits Job to Convict, 
God’s job to judge
 and my job to love,” 
                          Billy Graham
As followers of Christ Jesus we are called to present the Love of Christ to the world around us. We have no right to judge. As Billy Graham said, “(it is) God’s job to Judge”. Our job is and to love to present the gospel message to anyone who will listen to us.
I firmly believe if we present the message of Christ in a loving, respectful way people will at the very least listen to us. Which is all we can expect.
Question. Do you present the love of Christ to the world around you in a loving respectful way?
Please think about it.
