God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus:

but for Him who died for them and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NKJV)
Words of Paul

but for Him who died for them and rose again.
Everything we do or say must have Christ as our motivation. Any action must be spurred in us by Jesus. Any words that come out of our mouth must be filtered by Jesus.
