It is because we know this solemn fear of the Lord that we worked so hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too. Are we trying to pat ourselves on the back again? No, we are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart before God. If it seems that we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live to please themselves. Instead, they will live to please Christ, who died and was raised for them.
So we've stopped evaluating others by what the world thinks about them.... what this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun.

2 Corinthians 5:13-17

This is what I believe it means to be Jesus freak.

This is part of Paul's letter to the Corinthians; he was describing how he and others had worked for God's kingdom. They never cared about what other people thought, only about serving Christ. I believe Paul was one of the greatest Christians in the Bible, and he definitely deserves the title "Jesus freak". 8)

"If it seems that we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us."

So don't worry about what others think - worry about what God Almighty thinks. :wink:
