"For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 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." 2 Corinthians 5:13-15

Paul's transformation had brought him and his companions to a place of living an extreme lifestyle for the sake of Christ. Paul had been radically changed! The Spirit of Christ was now burning inside him! This drove Paul to abandon all, so that he may go and preach the Gospel, bringing the lost to Jesus. The Gospel message should have the same effect on all who embrace it. When the Spirit of Christ comes to live inside us it should move us to a new extreme life style! A life style that forsakes all for the furtherance of God's Kingdom! It should change our perspective on life, moving us to live radically transformed lives for God! We should now be living for the eternal and not the temporal. If you are born again then the Spirit of Christ is living in you, allow that Spirit to move you to a new life style, one that lives radically for the cause and glory of Christ!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
