How many of you will allow Christ to direct your life from day to day? How many will say, my life, my all, O Lord I give? How many will allow Christ to use you to build up His Church on earth? Can you say that you are completely His for the strengthening of His Church on earth? And then, Paul said, the reason why I am so dedicated; the reason why I am so zealous; the reason why I have given my all to Christ is, v14, “…the love of Christ constraineth me;” His love for me makes me do it. He loved me, I hear Paul say, when I was lost. He loved me, when I was blind and could not see. He loved me, when I was the chief of sinners. All those lives that I took. Mothers and Fathers I put in jail. I should have been crucified. But Christ loved me and gave His life for me. And because He loved me, I am going to serve Him. Why are you serving the Lord?
