Why is being constrained by Christ's love important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Being constrained by Christ's love motivates believers to live righteously and serve God out of gratitude, not fear.

The motivation behind a believer's life should be the love of Christ, which constrains them to live in a way that honors God. This love is inseparable and unchanging, driving the believer to live not out of fear or compulsion from men but out of heartfelt devotion and grace. Such a transformative love enables Christians to serve others and pursue holiness, rooted in the understanding that it is God who empowers them to abide in Him. The difference between being compelled by men and being constrained by Christ is critical, as true sanctification results in genuine humility rather than prideful self-righteousness.
