THE NEW
Tags: ambassadors, Christ's love, live, New Creation, raised, reconciliation, the righteousness of God
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. Though we once regarded Christ in
this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ, he or she is a new creation; the old has
gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, Who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ,
not counting men’s sins against them. And He has
committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though
God were making His appeal through us.
We implore you on Christ’s behalf:
Be reconciled to God.
God made Him Who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in Him we might be come
the righteousness of God.
(II. Corinthians 5.14-21).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
