I just have the motivating factor as love.

When you read 2 Corinthians 5, where it says, for Christ's love compelled us.

Now, you say, what was the context of that?

Now, I want you to notice this.

I think 2 Corinthians 5,

is so incredibly difficult to get around because he starts off with this judgment scene about all appearing for the judgment seat of Christ.

Because what this... It's hard for me to characterize their argument because I don't want to get it wrong.

But what this making appeasing God's judgment, the gospel...

Instead of God's judgment being appeased through the offering of his son in love, which is where I'm at, which sounds similar, but I'm just saying I've talked to these people, and they're like, oh, no.

Oh, no.

The stress is God's appeasement.

The love is minimized.

Now, they'll agree with it, but it's just minimized.

So in all the sermons, you're like, hey, it's not good news.

And that's my biggest problem with it.

And it is detached from the resurrection.

Well, I think that's just almost downright silly.

That's why I brought up Sodom and Gomorrah.

But now you want punishment?

That was punishment.
