Knowing The Terror of the Lord, We Must Persuade Others

This Scripture stood out to me as I read the Bible this morning. Read it slow then re-read it again, grasping what it is saying to us....

For we must ALL APPEAR 

before the JUDGMENT seat of Christ; 

that EVERY ONE 

may receive the things done in his body, 

according to that he hath done, 

whether it be good or bad.

KNOWING therefore 

the TERROR of the LORD, 

we PERSUADE men;

2 Corinthians 5:10-11

Persuade = to convince (by argument true or false). (Strong's G3982)

Knowing the terror of the Lord - that one day we will each stand before the Judgment seat of Christ - we must PERSUADE others (CONVINCE them of what is true and refuting what is false).
