2Co 5:14-15

For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

The love of Christ controlled Paul.
We should be so controlled.

Notice this came about after a conclusion.
After realizing that…
one died for all
all died
He (Jesus) died for all
so that we who live…in Him…might live for Him…not for ourselves.
He died and rose again on our behalf

We are to live for Him.
We are to be controlled by His love in us.

Anything else is idolatry.
Anything else is sin.
