The Love of Christ Compels Me

2 Corinthians 5:14 – For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, and therefore all died.

​Context = Self-control to be winsome

​2 Corinthians 5:12 – We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

​The love that Jesus has toward others compels us to be self-controlled and winsome so that those around us may come to know the Lord.

​Galatians 5:22 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control.
