For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

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.

...Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Happy Good Good Good Good Friday everyone i pray that as you reflect of the grace of God through sending His only Son to die so that you could live, you will open your heart to God and fully experience his unending love and amazing grace.
