2 Corinthians 5:14-17 (NIV)  

"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view... Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
