2 Corinthians 5:14-17: The New Life
November 8, 2026

Scripture

2 Corinthians 5:14-17
[14] For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; [15] 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.

[16] From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

[17] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Purpose Statement

Christ died so that we might live as new creations who are compelled and constrained by His love.
