Why did Christ die for all according to 2 Corinthians 5:14?

Scripture teaches that Christ died for all because the love of Christ constrained Him. His love for mankind and for the Father drove His obedience to the work of the cross. Second Corinthians 5:14 says, "the love of Christ constraineth us," and the reason He died for all is that constraining love.

Les explains that the engine that drove His obedience was love—His love for mankind and His love for the Father—which drove Him to be obedient to the work of the cross. He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, the most horrible death a person could experience. Returning to II Corinthians 5:14, Les points out that the verse says the love of Christ constraineth us, because if one died for all, then were all dead. The answer to why He died for all is the love that constrains.

2 Corinthians 5:14

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

What does Paul mean in 2 Corinthians 5 that the love of Christ constraineth us because he died for all?

Paul means Christ's love compels or constrains because He died for all, and if He died for all, then all were dead. Scripture states Christ tasted death for every man, so His sacrificial death for all humanity is the basis of that constraining love.
