Re: knowing how to do the right thing is often much harder
I recently read in a book (some fantasy novel) a phrase I quite liked.
It is not that special to die for your convictions - it is actually quite common. The hard thing is to live by them

Re: knowing how to do the right thing is often much harder
Says Paul in Philippians 1
13So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Even he who preaches without concviction preaches Christ.
In Galatians 1 he says:
6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
So if one preaches the wrong gospel one is accursed - no matter the intetion.
At least that is what I was recently told by and Danish apolegetic.
