Philemon 1:8-9 – 8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—
Don’t get me wrong, Paul was never too shy about correcting a brother in Christ also. It is our duty to try and strengthen our fellow Christian Brother and Sisters.
A loving touch is always the best way to reach out to others in trying to remind them what the scriptures say. We’re born rebellious sinners and when someone takes the approach of trying to ram something down our throats we get defensive and push away.
That doesn’t mean we need to walk on egg shells or sell a gospel less than the truth. It means we need to present it and encourage it in a loving way. Make it their idea. Get them to drink and feed on the Word a little at a time. Over time many of them will become stronger and then hopefully someday the Holy Spirit stays in them strong and they want to live for Him and seek Him constantly.
Many Christians who ram their take on the bible down others throat are usually trying to prove THEIR point, not that of the Lord.
Study it. Present it accurately and lovingly. The Word itself cuts like a sword; it doesn’t need an arrogant touch to it. Those who don’t want to receive it will already have it sting enough even when it is presented lovingly.
However, you don’t have to walk on eggshells if you are trying to really share it out of love.
