"For the love of Christ constraineth us;..." 2Cor.5:14
The redeemed of the Lord are men and women who are moved to actions or reactions by love.
They do not continue in sin because they love God and also, do not tempt others because they love them, not because there is a law operating in their environment. For the law was meant for the lawless (1Tim1:9,10)
O comrade, do you care if the way you talk, behave, dress, etc affects or tempt someone else?
Sister, do you care to dress properly since you know unclad ladies are pits for men? Do you just say "those brothers have problem?" Or does the love of Christ constrain you to help them? Brother, do you play with words carelessly, toying with the emotion of sisters knowing fully well that words control them? Do you derive pleasure in making sisters look like fools around you so you can add to your CV the number of sisters falling for you? Or do you help them by defining every relationship you are into with them for the love you have for them?
"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." 1John 4:12
Meditate on the verse above.
Shalom
