P2_Ch07_The Flesh That Serves the Lord Who Compels Us with Love is Honorable (2 Corinthians 5:14-16)

The Love of Christ Compels Us

The Apostle Paul and the coworkers who ministered with him were those known before God and before the church. The Apostle Paul, while preaching the gospel of God, wanted himself to be known before God and before the church.
Also, living in this world, he preached the gospel while being wary of those who boast of themselves. He said, “For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you” (2 Corinthians 5:13).
The Apostle Paul said, “For the love of Christ compels us” (2 Corinthians 5:14), because the love of Christ actually compelled the Apostle Paul’s heart. If the love of God had not strongly taken hold of Paul, I wonder if he could have handled his ministry. The Apostle Paul met numerous difficult things, but he says he could handle his ministry because the Lord’s love compelled him.
It is the same for us. The reason all the servants of God can have a purpose in the propagation of the gospel is because the love of Christ compels our hearts. If the love of God did not compel us, we would not be able to handle this work of propagating the gospel to the end. Although there are times when we sometimes lose our spiritual faith and get frustrated, we can rise again because the love of Christ compels our hearts.
