2 Corinthians 5:14-15–"For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised."
This passage is one of those that could be quite off-putting for those who do not know Christ. It speaks of a relationship of obedient submission to the will of God as we seek to live out Christ in our own lives. For some, this kind of relationship could seem terrifying, and rightly so. But the reality is that to give ourselves fully to the will of Christ is the very definition of liberation and freedom. When we take the reality of this verse upon ourselves we become the people we were made to be, the human beings we were created to be. Because of this, and many more reasons that are too voluminous to list, we should strive to make the reality of this verse a reality for us and for our lives.
