2 Corinthians 5:20 “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”
One of the most marvelous changes when we become a believer is that we go from being an alien from God to a position in which God now views us as AMBASSADORS for CHRIST. Being an ambassador means one is a representative. If you are a Christian, you now REPRESENT Christ in this world and are to bring His message of reconciliation to them!
To consider what a change this is, recall what you were before becoming a believer. In Ephesians 2:19 we are called “strangers and aliens.” In Romans 5:10 we are called “enemies.” In Colossians 1:21, we are “ALIENATED” from God.
Yet here in 2 Corinthians 5:20, we are called AMBASSADORS for CHRIST. We went from being in rebellion against God to being a representative of God. That friend is a change!!!
So you are an ambassador for the King of Kings, and He has called you to represent Christ to a lost world. You represent Christ to the lost person working next to you and to those living next to you. You are to represent Christ to friends, family members, and even enemies! As God’s ambassador, you present His message and plead with them to be reconciled to God by accepting the glorious gospel!
As believers, we are a new person, with a new position, and now with a new purpose.
Continue Strong representing Christ to the nations,
And remember to DATE the Word
