INTRODUCTION
As we continue to think of being commissioned to the world – what then is our motivation?
- The Command of God?
- The Conscience of the our mind?
- The Constraining love of God?

【2 Corinthians 5:14-15】
“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this; that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.”

A. Controlled by The Love of God

- 2 Corinthians 5:14
“For the love of Christ controls us, .....”

i. The Power of Love
ESV: controls, KJV: constrains, NIV: compels, GNB: rules
- All these words have the idea of moving in a forceful way.
- It simply means this - “I have no choice but to do it. It was a reflex.”

- Romans 1:14, 16
I am under obligation both to the Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.... for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone...

ii. The Principle of Love

- 2 Corinthians 5:13-14
“For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died.”

- The very act and principle of love that is displayed by Christ compels us.

B. Changed by Life of Christ

- 2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, the old has passed away, behold the new has come.”

- What has changed?
· We no longer live for this world, our hope is in heaven.
· We no longer live for ourselves but we live for one another.

- 2 Corinthians 5:15
And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

CONCLUSION

- 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
“All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself an gave us the ministry of reconciliation, that is in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.”

- This is the ultimate love we owe. Christ paid a debt he never owed, I owe a debt I can never pay.
- Commitment = Determine to live for others
- Control / Reflex = Driven by the love of Christ

经文：哥林多后书 5:13-21

引言
当我们在思想着为主奉受差遣到世界 – 我们的动机是什么呢？
- 神的命令吗？
- 心灵的良知吗？
- 神约束的爱吗?

【哥林多后书5:14-15】
"原来基督的爱激励我们，因我们想：一人既替众人死，众人就都死了；并且他替众人死，是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活，乃为替他们死而复活的主活。"

A. 被神的爱所激励

- 哥林多后书 5:14
"原来基督的爱激励我们..."

i. 爱的大能
ESV: controls (控制) KJV: constrains (限制), NIV: compels (强制), GNB: rules (规定)
- 这些词涵盖了强迫性的意思
- 意思就是：“我别无选择，只能这么做。这是一种条件反射。”

- 罗马书 1:14,16
无论是希腊人、化外人、聪明人、愚拙人，我都欠他们的债.... 这福音本是神的大能，要救一切相信的....

ii. 爱的原则

- 哥林多后书 5:13-14
“我们若果癫狂，是为神；若果谨守，是为你们。原来基督的爱激励我们，因我们想：一人既替众人死，众人就都死了”

- 这爱的原则是我们被基督的爱所驱使从而体现出来。

B. 被基督的生命改变

- 哥林多后书 5:17
“若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人，旧事已过，都变成新的了。”

- 是什么改变了？
· 我们不再为世界而活，我们的盼望在天国。
· 我们不再为自己而活，我们为彼此而活。

- 哥林多后书5:15
并且他替众人死，是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活，乃为替他们死而复活的主活。

总结

- 哥林多后书 5:18-19
“一切都是出于神，他借着基督使我们与他和好，又将劝人与他和好的职分赐给我们。这就是神在基督里叫世人与自己和好，不将他们的过犯归到他们身上，并且将这和好的道理托付了我们。”

- 这是我们所欠的最终的爱。基督偿还了他从未欠下的债，我欠下了我永远无法偿还的债。
- 承诺 = 决心为他人而活
- 控制/反射 = 被基督的爱所驱使
