For the love of Christ controls 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. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 KJV
We are not our own, we were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and Christ purchased men for God (Revelation 5:9). We have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. The life we now live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20)
The moment we surrender our lives to Him, we are His, we belong to Him. We now do His will and His work. And we surrender because of His overwhelming beauty, Love, sacrifice, and perfection through by the Holy Spirit in which is giving to all freely by choice.
... Our flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of our heart and portion forever. ~~Psalm 73:25-26 (ESV)
