How did Paul manage to start so many congregations? How did he manage to promote Christianity more than anyone, outside of Christ Himself? Look how Paul treated people,

You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe; as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children, that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory (1 Thessalonians 2.10–12). 

If people in the church treated you that way, how would it affect your life? Undoubtedly it would create in you a heart of love, faith, and hope. Why can you not show the same temperament toward others?
