No Longer
Embracing Freedom: Living Beyond Ourselves
Lyrics
For the love of Christ constrains us
Emphasizes that the love of Christ is a compelling force in guiding actions and decisions.
Because we have judged this
Refers to a judgment or understanding that forms the basis of their actions.
That one died for all
States the belief that Christ sacrificed himself for the sake of all people.
Therefore all died
Highlights the consequence of Christ's sacrifice, signifying a spiritual death for all.
And He died for all
Reiterates Christ's sacrifice for the benefit of all individuals.
That those who live
Expresses that the purpose of Christ's sacrifice is to transform the lives of those who are alive.
May no longer live to themselves
States the transformation objective: living no longer for oneself but for a higher purpose.
No longer, no longer
Repeats the idea of living no longer for oneself, reinforcing the transformative theme.
May no longer live to themselves
Reiterates the transformational concept, emphasizing the shift in focus from self to a higher purpose.
But to Him who died for them
Defines the higher purpose as living for Christ, the one who sacrificed and was raised.
And has been raised
Points out the resurrection of Christ, signifying a significant event in the Christian faith.
No longer, no longer
Repeats the idea of living no longer for oneself, reinforcing the transformative theme.
We no longer live to ourselves
Reiterates the transformational concept, emphasizing the shift in focus from self to a higher purpose.
No longer, no longer
Repeats the transformational theme, emphasizing the change in lifestyle and purpose.
But to Christ I now live
Declares a new way of life, living for Christ instead of for oneself.
For the love of Christ constrains us

Because we have judged this
