¹⁴ For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. ¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

¹⁶ So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Reflect on the message:

1. In what ways can I renew my spiritual life in Christ?
2. What old practices/disciplines did I engage in that I no longer do? How can I revive them?
3. What holds me back from entering a new level in my relationship with Christ?
