2 Corinthians 5:14-15: "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." As followers of Christ, we must "burn the ships"; in other words, we need to turn from our past life completely and be fully committed followers of Christ in every aspect of our lives.
