in Life's name and for Life's sake

I agree with you so much. I have almost the entire thing memorized...verses 1-9 I think...but that alone sums up (in my opinion) how Christians should act. John 3:16 might explain the reward, and the reason for it...but 1 Corinthians 13 tells us how to thank God for it: by loving each other. Unfortunately, too many people don't get that.
