The Love Of Christ Compels Us

What moves, drives, inspires, motivates, masters or rules us? Does fear, fame or fortune? Or the bibles list of the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh or the pride of life? All of these can be the relentless driving influences and compulsions that urge people on.

The apostle Paul, enduring a list of horrendous hardships while fulfilling his life's calling, never succumbed to the “woe is me” mindset. His cry was “woe is me if I do not preach the gospel”. Paul urges us today and reveals his heavenly motivation when he writes, “For the love of Christ compels us and He has claimed our allegiance.”
