We are ambassadors

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:20, 21 KJV). All the old things of the past have been washed away by the blood of Jesus, who has reconciled us and saved us from sins' debt. Christ showed His love to the whole world by dying for everyone on the cross of Calvary. While we were yet sinners, God sent His only begotten son to save us from the darkness that surrounded us. Those who stand in faith are new creatures in Jesus Christ. All things become new in Christ Jesus. He's given us a ministry of reconciliation, to announce the Good News to others that are in need and without hope. With our faith and hope in Christ Jesus, we become representatives, ambassadors, for Him. He has empowered the believer to deliver the message of the Gospel to others. The Lord will always provide and take care of those who trust and stand in faith with Him. For He made Himself as sin, who knew no sin, for us so that we would be made in the righteousness of God through Him. For all have been called by God the Father, but very few take on the vocation of an ambassador for Christ. It is God's desire to exalt every believer in His name. Let us all humble ourselves today and allow the Lord to exalt us in His ministry of reconciliation. God bless you. Amen
