2 Cor 5:14-15 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
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.
KJV
What constrains you Christian? That word in verse fourteen above means to be held, to be kept, and to preoccupy. It means that one is held to Christ, held to obedience, held to be occupied with Jesus Christ. What constrains you? Are you afraid of judgment, of chastening, of losing something you were given? What constrains you Christian? It should be love and not your love for Christ, His love for you. Think of this for a moment. After all He has done for me, willingly bearing my sin and paying the price for my liberty, after all He has done for me why not be occupied with Him and give my life to Him? What constrains you? Because of what He has done for me I am constrained and even that by His great love for me. What constrains you?
