(NASB) 2 Corinthians 5:18 “Now all these things are from God…”

What are all these things which are from God?

For the followers of Christ, we need to be prepared to give the message of reconciliation.

God prepares Christ’s followers:
1- to be clothed with heavenly clothing given by God (He is the One Who gives us His Holy Spirit as a pledge – to fulfill His promise)                           2 Corinthians 5:1-5
[To live as a follower of Christ is to live with confidence and assurance.]

2- to live with good courage: living by faith, not by sight    2 Corinthians 5:6-8
[To live as a follower of Christ is to live with courage and faith in Him.]


3- to have as our ambition to live pleasing to God (for one day we will appear before the judgment seat of Christ and receive payment for our actions – whether good or bad)  2 Corinthians 5:9-10
[To live as a follower of Christ is to please God in all things.]

Christ’s followers are the messengers of the Good News of reconciliation.

Therefore, we are to live as a follower of Christ.
