When I was young, there was a common expession that I remember which was "make me", whenever someone was angry about being told what they should do.
Love does not make people do what they will not do. Love does not provoke.
But people who want to do what is right should be provoked to do it because the work needs doing.
That is why The Bible says "love does not provoke" AND that we should "provoke one another to love".
One is for people who won't and one is for people who will.
Love does not make people do what they will not do. Love does not provoke.
But people who want to do what is right should be provoked to do it because the work needs doing.
