14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
- 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
This verse really hit me this morning when I read it. One major reason being, that Paul says that the love of Christ compels us. - Not anything else but our LOVE for Him who died for us and gave us this new life we read in 2 Corinthians 5. I really loved that! But then he goes further, and says because of this, we no longer live for ourselves, but for Him.
I sat back and thought to myself today .... am I no longer living for myself and am I really embracing what Paul says, when he states, we live for Him who died and rose again!
This verse really made me put a lot of things into perspective ....
Just a thought to ponder ....
