“The love of Christ compels us” is more than just a beautiful Bible phrase. It is a reminder of what moves us, strengthens us, and gives our lives purpose. In 2 Corinthians 5:14, Paul is saying that the love Jesus showed by giving His life for us should change the way we live. When we truly understand how deeply Christ…
