Ministry of Reconciliation
(NASB) 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”
Followers of Christ are to extend God’s invitation, we are to tell others about this great work and gift of God.
He has given His people a responsibility to tell others that their trespasses are against God and can be forgiven by God – and faith in Jesus Christ is the prerequisite.
How you and I respond to others will either withhold or open up an opportunity for them to have reconciliation with the living God.
Extending the ministry of reconciliation with God to others
is the responsibility of the followers of Christ.
How many people do not understand or have never heard that it is through the Lord Jesus Christ they are forgiven and accepted by God? It is not by self-sacrifice, it is not by works of any kind, it is only by the work of Christ and it has been accomplished!
To whom will you extend this reconciliation to God?
