THE LOVE OF CHRIST COMPELS US
For the love of Christ compels us,
because we judge thus, that if One
died for all, then all died,
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.
( II. Corinthians 5.14 and 15).
POINTS FOR PRAYER
1) The love or charity of Jesus Christ urges or compels us
2) We were reckoned as dead because of trespasses and sins
3) Jesus Christ died to atone for our sins
4) Jesus Christ rose again so that we can live with Him
5) We therefore live for Him empowered by the Holy Spirit
6) The life we live is actually His life
7) Remember the scripture which indicates
that we were crucified with Him, yet we live
and the life we live is now no longer ours, but
His life, because He died and granted us His
salvation and His life, so we can walk in newness
of life as new creations in Christ.
