2CO 5:15
He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Cor. 5:15
We have been educated from very early in our school career that we can attain to anything. We are encouraged to live for self. But Jesus in our life has changed all that. He died for us. Now, as those that have His Spirit in our hearts, we should live for Him. We are not to live for “self”. The new creation, that came into existence when we accepted Jesus as Lord, now has one object in life - to live for the Lord Jesus Christ.
