2 Corinthians 5:15; Live Not Unto Ourselves
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.
The Apostle Paul exhorts us to live not for ourselves. Be not self-centred, selfish, motivated for self-interest. But live for Jesus, the One who bought us with His life. Jesus’ life was lived in obedience to the will of His Father. He was obedient even unto death, the death on the cross. His obedience purchased our redemption. Because of our Lord’s willing sacrifice, we are given spiritual life. We shall escape the wrath of hell-fire.
