Be Reconciled to God

12 For awe do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity bto boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.  
13 For aif we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.  
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that aif One died for all, then all died;  
15 and He died for all, athat those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.  
16 aTherefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, byet now we know Him thus no longer.  
17 Therefore, if anyone ais in Christ, he is ba new creation; cold things have passed away; behold, all things have become dnew.  
18 Now all things are of God, awho has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,  
19 that is, that aGod was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not1 imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  
20 Now then, we are aambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.  
21 For aHe made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become bthe righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:14

For the love of Christ - To us, and our love to him. Constraineth us - Both to the one and the other; beareth us on with such a strong, steady, prevailing influence, as winds and tides exert when they waft the vessel to its destined harbour. While we thus judge, that if Christ died for all, then are all, even the best of men, naturally dead - In a state of spiritual death, and liable to death eternal. For had any man been otherwise, Christ had not needed to have died for him.
