2 Corinthians 5:14
Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died
for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.
Had Jesus Christ not died for us, we would be spiritually
dead and ruined. We would be slaves to
our sin and would have no power to deliver ourselves from the miserable state
that we would be in.
Christ died for all, so that we may all die to sin and
self. As we die to self and receive
Jesus as Our Savior, we are free to live for Our Redeemer. It is through Christ's love that we are able
to live as Our Redeemer lived in the perfect will of the Father.
It is the love of our beloved, Jesus Christ, that shines
forth in us when we submit ourselves to be vessels of His perfect love. The love of Jesus in our lives is what allows
us to show the world what living for Christ is all about. If we ever try to show the world Jesus
through our own holiness, and not through the righteousness that we have
received from Our Savior, we will fail.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the sacrifice of Your Son
who died for our sins. We praise the
name of Jesus for accepting Your will and plan for His life all the way to the
Cross. We pray, Father, that the world
will see the way, the truth and the life of Jesus through us as we leave our
old lives behind in exchange for the our new lives in Christ. We ask, Lord, that the fullness of the life
of Your Son, Jesus, be perfected in us.
May the world know us as His disciples.
We ask all these things in the name of the precious Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
