2 Corinthians 5:17–21:
17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come
:
The
old has gone, the new is here!
18
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20
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.
21
God made him who had no sin to be
sin
for
us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The Gift of ReconciliationSlide12
“And
he has given us the freedom and power to turn from sin (and conflict), to be conformed to the likeness of Christ, and to be his ambassadors of reconciliation. It is the realization of who we are in Christ that inspires us to do the unnatural work of dying to self, confessing sin, addressing others’ wrongs graciously, laying down rights, and forgiving deep hurts — even with people who persist in opposing or mistreating us”
