And people say Jesus never called anyone out!!! We used truth to reach people. We do it with gentleness and respect, out of love for them. Whether or not they respond to it doesn’t negate our responsibility to present the Truth to them. Convincing someone to believe and repent is God’s job, not ours. Our job is to point others to Jesus, the savior of the world.
17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.20 “But I warn you–unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
Matthew 5:17-20
