Sermon by Pastor Darren Cadapen
The love that we know in Christ is a 'restraining' love which keeps us in the paths of righteousness. This love is centred on the atoning work of Christ on the Cross - a death that every believer has an experience of.
2Cor.5.12-15For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 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.
