For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 KJVHis love has the first and last word in everything we do. Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own.

Good words.
Thank you, sir.
That term "constraineth us", that's a hug, right?
Needed words for sour evening Reverend. Thanks.
Ed, I'm pretty sure you know what it means. :) And yes, it could be interpreted that way, since He IS love.
You're welcome, TB.
Your posts never fail to make me think.
I’m taking that as a compliment, sir.
