It's All About...

Read 2 Corinthians 5:15

During a recent conversation a friend brought me to this verse and I couldn't help but think about it's implications for us. Second Corinthians 5:15 says - And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

With the world we live in it's hard to get this message right. We're told day in and day out how it's all about us. But God says something different. He says it's all about Him; that we should no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died for us and was raised again. Listen, if we're honest (and I'm suggesting we should be) if Christ didn't rise then why would we live for Him? But history tells us He did rise, He did back up His promise with power and truth. And since we can trust Him at His word we need to put our efforts toward making it a point of emphasis with our lives that we will live for Him in every single way.

God's desire is that we honor Him with our lives. And once we allow Him to have His way in us, our desire will match His. This week let's follow the example Paul promotes in 2 Corinthians by living for Him.
