“Christ died even for those who hated him”
by A. W. Tozer   
August 3rd, 2014

Our Lord Jesus Christ came and demonstrated the vast difference between being charitable and being tolerant! He was so charitable that in His great heart He took in all the people in the world and was willing to die even for those who hated Him!

But even with that kind of love and charity crowning His being, Jesus was completely frank and open when He taught: "If you are not on my side, you are against me!" There is no twilight zone in the teachings of Jesus - no place in between.

So, charity is one thing, but tolerance is quite another matter.

Suppose we take the position of compromise that many want us to take: "Everyone come, and be saved if you want to. But if you do not want to be saved, maybe there is some other way that we can find for you. We want you to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ if you will, but if you do not want to, there may be a possiblity that God will find some other way for you because there are those who say that there are many ways to God."

To take that position would not be a spirit of tolerance on our part - it would be downright cowardice! We would be guilty with so many others of a spirit of compromise that so easily becomes an anti-God attitude. Tolerance easily becomes a matter of cowardice if God's Word are ignored and forgotten! Acts 4:12 A.W.Tozer
