purpose

2 Corinthians 5:¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 

¹⁶ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

 

One died for all that all might live,

We died with Him, new life to win.

And now we live not for ourselves

but for the One who rose again.

No longer dead, we are re-made

All things are new...

And He's our friend.
