Pastor Lee opens 2 Corinthians 5:14–15 with a simple but life-altering claim: Jesus died for all, so those who live no longer live for themselves. From that anchor, we walk through what it means to let Christ’s love hold first place in our hearts and habits, shaping every response at home, at work, and in the community.We then explore Paul’s next move: stop seeing people “according to the flesh.” If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation. That shift reframes how we view others, cutting through politics, class, and status to two essential categories—saved or lost. The goal isn’t to flatten people; it’s to focus our mission. When love leads, walls fall. Conversations open. Compassion replaces contempt. Pastor Lee’s brackish water metaphor brings this home: if we blend the old life with the new, we create conditions where old sins can still swim. Purifying the stream protects health, growth, and witness.Anchored in 1 John 4:13–21, we unpack how perfect love drives out fear and why we love even our enemies—because God first loved us. This love is not passive or naïve; it’s active, prayerful, and courageous. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us the real fight isn’t against people but against spiritual forces, which is why spiritual vision matters. See souls, not stereotypes. Minister to the root, not just the fruit. As we yield to the love of Jesus, we find daily opportunities to serve, share, and invite others into the new creation life.If this message challenged or encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.
