“He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.”
Acts 24:26

Listen to fervent words from the Apostle:
“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
And then ask yourself if Jesus died for you.
If he did, then you ought to live for him; and because you are- what compels you, what causes your discontent in any situation must mirror his.
You ought to see men the way he sees them: either as sinners who are yet to obey the gospel (irrespective of their titles) or as saints, children of the living God.
This dichotomy guides how you relate with your world. Look at the Apostle:
“Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.” Acts 17:16-17
He wasn’t fascinated by the architecture of the city or whatever aesthetic or seeming wisdom they portrayed, all he saw were sinners still held captive by satan and that compelled him to begin preaching even before his team arrived.
When you enter that office, restaurant, bus— what gets your attention? It ought to be what would get Jesus’.
