- 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 (NKJV) For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
- 15, and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
- 16, Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
- 17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
- Colossians 1:22 (NLT) Yet now He has reconciled you to Himself through the death of Christ in His physical body. As a result, He has brought you into His own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault.
- Romans 5:1 (NLT) Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
