GBI PRJ (CK7)

Bukan hanya damai sejahtera-Nya yang sanggup menguasai atau memerintah di dalam hati serta pikiran kita, sesuai bacaan dan permenungan kita kemarin, melainkan juga kasih-Nya pun semestinya menguasai hidup kita.

2 Korintus 5 : 14a (VMD), "Kristus mengasihi kami dan karena itu Ia menguasai hidup kami."

Apa pun yang kami lakukan, jelas bukan untuk mencari keuntungan bagi diri sendiri, melainkan karena kasih Kristus sekarang menguasai kami. Karena kita percaya bahwa Kristus mati bagi kita sekalian, hendaknya kita juga percaya bahwa kita telah mati terhadap hidup lama yang dahulu kita jalani. (FAYH)

Christ's love has moved me to such extremes. His 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. (MSG)

I speak and act the way I do because the love that Christ has for people influences me in everything that I say and do. When he died, he suffered the punishment for the sins of all people. So, we should all think of ourselves as having died with him, being as unresponsive to sinful desires as a corpse is. (DEIBLER)

Sudahkah kita mengalami kasih-Nya, serta tetap berada di dalam kasih itu?
