Self is one of the biggest enemies that hinders the Great Commission.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 says, "For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead. And that he died for all, that they which live should NOT HENCEFORTH LIVE UNTO THEMSELVES, but unto him which died for them, and rose again."
Men, these two verses make it very clear that Christ died for all. Therefore, all men should at least be acquainted with this truth. We Christians must ask ourselves how much we really value the blood of Christ. Do we value it enough to let all men know that Jesus' blood was shed for them, or do we only value it enough for ourselves?
All that we do--the raising of our children and the job we work at each day--should be done in the light of what Christ has done for all men everywhere. We should do it with the perspective of knowing Christ and making Him known.
Be encouraged.
