2 Corinthians 5:11-21

Hey, at the beginning, it starts out saying how plain our lives and consciences are to God, and we aren't trying to commend ourselves with glory, but God, or that should be our goal. Then it goes on to say that no matter what we do, God's love compels us to do it, but do not miss read that and start using that as an excuse to do evil. Then it says we should no longer live for ourselves, selfishly, but for God, the one who died for us, and instead of judging others from a worldly view, but no longer judge people at all. At the end it talks about God reconciling us to him even though we sinned, and God didnt count that against us, so we should become Christ's ambassadors As if God were going to speak through us. And the last few verses, Paul is pleading for the corinthians to be reconciled to Christ.

Brandon, great summary. I have got two questions for you.

What verse in this passage spoke into your life the most?

Verse 13 says "If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God." What is something you could do for the sake of God that would make people think you were out of your mind (insane)?
