In context
AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 5:11-17The love of Christ constrains us
About 2 Corinthians 5If "our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God... eternal in the heavens," so "we walk by faith, not by sight," willing "to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord," knowing "we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." Moved by "the love of Christ," Paul says, "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." God "was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself," and has given "the ministry of reconciliation," so "we are ambassadors for Christ... be ye reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:12 Corinthians 5:72 Corinthians 5:82 Corinthians 5:102 Corinthians 5:142 Corinthians 5:172 Corinthians 5:182 Corinthians 5:192 Corinthians 5:20
Why this verse matters here"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
