For the love of Christ compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should live no more for themselves but for Him who died for them and rose again.
What Are You Living For? What drives your life? What is the compelling inspiration for your life? Although these are all important questions, however, the most important question is: “What am I living for?” Only one person can ensure that my life will count in meaningful ways after my body ceases to function (1 Corinthians 15:57-58). Only Jesus enables me to know with confidence that I will never die (John 11:25-26). He has already died for me and has conquered death! If my body fails, the living part of me will remain with Jesus, waiting for the resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Philippians 1:19-24). If he was willing to do all this for me, I will definitely stay alive for him as long as there is breath in our lungs!
victorious GodThank you for giving me victory over death through my Savior Jesus. Thank you for giving me victory over sin through His sacrificial death. Thank you for giving me victory in my life today as I live for Him based on His resurrection. Through the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
