Our job is to love people...God's job is to transform them. In between our loving them and God transforming them, we need to be a light (example/living epistle) for them.
The thought behind the quote
Billy Graham said, "It's my job to love, it's the Holy Spirit's job to convict, and it's God's job to judge." We are not called to change people through our own power or to force them to believe as we do. Instead, we are called to set an example, to love them genuinely, and to be a light in their lives. True transformation is a work that only God can accomplish through the Holy Spirit. The only job God gives us is to love people well. His job is to change them. When someone doesn’t change the way you think they should, just keep loving.
