It appears in various forms throughout Scripture, illustrating both physical and moral persuasion. The concept of compulsion is significant in understanding the dynamics of human interaction, divine command, and the spread of the Gospel. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the idea of compulsion is often associated with the exertion of authority or power. For example, in <a href="/1_samuel/13-12.htm">1 Samuel 13:12</a>, Saul felt compelled to offer a burnt offering, demonstrating how external pressures can lead to actions that may not align with God's commands. The Hebrew word often translated as "compel" can also mean to "seize" or "constrain," indicating a forceful action. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the Greek word "anagkazo" is commonly translated as "compel." One of the most notable uses of this term is found in the Parable of the Great Banquet in <a href="/luke/14-23.htm">Luke 14:23</a>, where the master instructs his servant to "compel them to come in, so that my house will be full" . This passage highlights the urgency and importance of inviting people into the Kingdom of God, suggesting a form of moral persuasion rather than physical force. Another significant instance is in <a href="/matthew/5-41.htm">Matthew 5:41</a>, where Jesus teaches, "If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles" . Here, the concept of compulsion is used to illustrate the principle of going beyond what is required, reflecting a spirit of generosity and service. Compulsion in the Spread of the Gospel The early church faced various forms of compulsion, both in spreading the Gospel and in facing persecution. In <a href="/acts/26-11.htm">Acts 26:11</a>, Paul recounts how he "tried to force them to blaspheme" before his conversion, showing how compulsion can be used negatively against believers. However, after his conversion, Paul himself was compelled by the love of Christ to preach the Gospel, as seen in <a href="/2_corinthians/5-14.htm">2 Corinthians 5:14</a>: "For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died" . Moral and Ethical Implications The concept of compulsion raises important moral and ethical questions within a biblical framework. While physical compulsion is generally viewed negatively, moral and spiritual compulsion, as driven by love and truth, is seen as a positive force. The believer is called to be compelled by the love of Christ, leading to actions that reflect God's will and purpose. Conclusion The biblical understanding of compulsion encompasses both the negative aspects of force and the positive aspects of moral persuasion. It challenges believers to discern the motivations behind their actions and to be driven by the love and truth of the Gospel in all interactions.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (v. t.) To drive or urge with force, or irresistibly; to force; to constrain; to oblige; to necessitate, either by physical or moral force.2. (v. t.)

It may be strong moral urgency, though "constrain" better expresses this. 1. In the Old Testament: There are several words indicative of such strong pressure: (1) 'anac "to press": "none could compel" to drink (<a href="/esther/1-8.htm">Esther 1:8</a>); (2) nadhach, "to drive," "force": "compelled Judah thereto" (the King James Version, the Revised Version, margin); "led Judah astray" the Revised Version (British and American) (<a href="/2_chronicles/21-11.htm">2 Chronicles 21:11</a>). The same word rendered "force," as the adulteress by flattering words her victim (<a href="/proverbs/7-21.htm">Proverbs 7:21</a>); (3) 'adhadh, "to serve": not to compel him to serve as a bond servant (<a href="/leviticus/25-39.htm">Leviticus 25:39</a> the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "make him serve"); (4) parats, "to break forth upon," "urge": "his servants compelled him" (<a href="/1_samuel/28-23.htm">1 Samuel 28:23</a> the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "constrained"). 2. In the New Testament: In the New Testament two words are found: (1) aggareuo: The word is of Persian origin and means to employ a courier. The Aggaroi were public couriers stationed by appointment of the kings of Persia, at fixed localities, with horses ready for use, to transmit speedily from one to another the royal messages. These couriers had authority to press into their service, in case of need, horses, vessels, and even men, they might meet (Josephus, Ant, XIII ii, 3); "compel thee to go a mile" (<a href="/matthew/5-41.htm">Matthew 5:41</a> the King James Version; the Revised Version, margin "impress"); "compelled Simon to bear his cross" (<a href="/matthew/27-32.htm">Matthew 27:32</a> <a href="/mark/15-21.htm">Mark 15:21</a> the King James Version; the Revised Version, margin "impressed"). (2) anagkazo, "to constrain," whether by force, threats, entreaties, persuasion, etc.: "compel them to come in" (<a href="/luke/14-23.htm">Luke 14:23</a> the King James Version; the Revised Version (British and American) "constrain"). This has been a favorite text of religious persecutors. As Robertson says in his history of Charles V, "As they could not persuade, they tried to compel men to believe." But it simply means that utmost zeal and moral urgency should be used by Christians to induce sinners to enter the Kingdom of God. Compare <a href="/acts/26-11.htm">Acts 26:11</a>.
