DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 18; Psalms 56-57; Acts 10:1-23
For the love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Corinthians 5:14
Paul conceded that he was overpowered by the constraining love of Christ. When you see a Christian whose life is controlled by the love of Christ, it is evident that he is surrendered to the Holy Spirit and consequently is a victorious believer. Such a life will be a shining light in the world. Regardless of their status, this constraining love of Christ is available to every believer. It is surrender, not accomplishment.
—Milton Haack
Through Christ on the cross, peace was made,
My debt by His death was all paid;
No other foundation is laid,
For peace, the gift of God’s love.
—P. Bilhorn
