Reconciled
Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God,
who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. II Cor. 5:17-18
For all those who have come
to God through Christ Jesus, it is imperative for each to know that you are not the same. As Paul states in this passage, you are a new creation. Father has made you new in Christ. Your life of sin
has been removed by His blood, and you are new!
You have been reconciled to
God. Before you were alienated from God by your sin nature. Now the blood of Jesus removes our sins and gives us a new start with Father. And, we are not who we were! Our life can begin again with
our hope and strength in Him. We can live in the true purpose for our life. We are, in fact, new crea-tions in Him!
Another aspect from this
action is that we can be ambassadors for Him. We can represent Him to others as we walk through this life. You see, He has given to us the ministry of reconciliation. We can go to others and share
with them the love that Father has for them. He has shown it through His Son, Jesus. We can speak of the life that is available to them in Jesus.
Saved for Purpose!! Father
did not only save us through His Son, but He gave to us the opportunity to witness of His love!
Apostle
James
