One of the Crazy Ones Because We Live for Christ Not Self!


One of the Crazy Ones Because We Live for Christ Not Self!

II Corinthains 5:15 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

So why else should you be one of the crazy ones? Well, this verse tells us that because Christ died for us, we no longer live for self. Instead, because He died for us and rose again, we should live for Him! So instead of living our dreams and desires, rather we live for Christ and His dreams and desires for us! To the world and even to most Christians, this is crazy. They say, yeah, Christ died for you but you can still do what you want and live like you want. But that is not what Christ wants! Christ wants us to die to self and live for Him! When we become a Christian, we no longer live for ourselves, but for Christ! This seems foolish and crazy to the world, but as Christians this is our lives! We do not live for what we want, but for what God wants. You know what God wants? God desires that the whole world would come to Him and be saved! That means that if we live for Christ, we should desire to get the gospel to the whole world! Will you give up your ambitions and dreams? Will you live your life for Christ? Will you give up the American dream, the Christian, American dream and even your dreams for Christ? I will tell you this— you may be considered crazy for doing this, but it is what Christ desires for us! If we give up our lives and live for Christ, He will give us bigger and better dreams. He will do more than we could ever imagine! So why not be one of the crazy ones and live your life for Christ because He gave all for you!
