I asked #AI what the #Bible has to say about compulsion:

1. Giving Should Be Willing, Not Under Compulsion

Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

(2 Corinthians 9:7, NHEBJE)

2. Serving God Voluntarily

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to God; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

(1 Peter 5:2, NHEBJE)

3. Love and Obedience Must Be Genuine

And you shall love YHVH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

(Deuteronomy 6:5, NHEBJE)

4. Compulsion Can Lead to Resentment

Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

(Proverbs 25:17, NHEBJE)

5. God Desires a Willing Spirit

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

(Psalms 51:12, NHEBJE)
