'Christ's Love Compels Us.'
2 Corinthians 5:14-17.
a) 2 Corinthians 5:14. For Christ's Love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, and therefore all died.
b) 2 Corinthians 5:15. 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.
c) 2 Corinthians 5:16. 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.
d) 2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here.
(This Second One is about motivation: Christ's Love Compels Us)
PRAY: To fully understand why Christ died for us.

Chris.
If we are truly Christian, we do not regard other people from a worldly point of view. If we have this bad habit it means that we are still in bondage to the world system and we should not be involved in Christian ministry at all. Manipulation and status have nothing to do with life in Christ. We should know this and avoid this very well.
