2019-09-01 (SUN) What Controls You?

Day 244 Bible Reading: Job 40-42, 2 Corinthians 5:11-21, Psalm 45 and Proverbs 22:14 Link opens new window 

"What controls You?" There are lots of different answers. Maybe controlled by time, money, work, your boss, the ministry, people. Anyone When we acknowledge our sin, repent, and accept Jesus as the sacrifice for our sins, then we are given new life, "old things are passed away, behold all things become new." This new life brings love, power, and motivation to live. From 2 Corinthians 5:14, we find this vague phrase: "For Christ's love compels us." (NIV). Christ's love keeps us. What more can we say? Because of His Love.

"For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 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." - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (ESV)

"Your Love is amazing, Lord. Too much for me to understand, but I thank you for giving me Your Love. May Your Love fill me, for Your Will, not mine. May Your Love extend to others so they may know You and the power of Your resurrection to grant new Life. Amen."
