Credit
Luke 6:32

Even ‘sinners’ love those who love them.
1 Peter 2:20

doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it,
this is commendable before God.

Luke 14:28

Evangelism:
"We must feel toward our people as a father toward his
children; yea, the most tender love of a mother must not surpass ours. We must
even travail in birth, till Christ be formed in them. They should see that we
care for no outward thing, neither liberty, nor honor, nor life, in comparison
to their salvation... When the people see that you truly love them, they will
hear anything from you...Oh therefore, see that you feel a tender love for your
people in your hearts, and let them perceive it in your speech and conduct. Let
them see that you spend and are spent for their sakes." - Richard Baxter
