What We Could Have Called It

I love our new name for our youth ministry. five15 has a great ring to it, and I love how 2 Corinthians 5:15 sums up what we’re all about. As I’ve been reading through the Bible, I keep running across other verses that say the same thing in a different way. But they might not be as useful for naming our ministry.
For instance, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 is wonderful:
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
But try and imagine this on a t-shirt: six19through20. Even though it probably wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt, what it communicates about grace and the gospel is sweet: we belong to Christ just like Christ belongs to God, so all things are ours to enjoy and benefit from.
What about you? Have you run across other verses that make you think: that sounds a lot like five15?
