Motive Of The Whole Christian Life

2 Corinthians 5:15

"And that he died for all, that they which live should

not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto

him which died for them, and rose again."

    
         Paul says, this is the motive of the whole Christian life. Christ died for all! A Christian is, in Christ, and therefore the old self of the Christian died in that death, and he arose a new man, as new as if he had been freshly created by the hands of God. In this newness of life he has acquired a new set of standards. He no longer judges things by the standards the world uses. There was a time when Paul had judged Christ by human standards and had set out to eliminate the Christian faith from the world. But not now. Now his standards are different. Now the man whose name he had sought to obliterate is to him the most wonderful person in the world, because he had given to him that friendship of God which he had longed for all his life. 
        My friends, the motive of the Christian life will never change. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new (2 Cor. 5:17). No matter how much you may have pushed God to the side, and may have made fun of others that said they "Believe In Jesus Christ," and they have accepted Him into their hearts, and Love Him! There is still a place for you in God's Kingdom. For Christ died for all!
        Amen!!
