2 Corinthians 5:18 “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation”
2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us that when a person gets saved, they are a new creation, emphasizing that the old things have passed away. Paul continues in verse 18 this thought about being a new PERSON telling us that as a new PERSON we have a new POSITION in that we have been RECONCILED to GOD – we have been RECONNECTED – because Jesus Christ has paid the price for our sins and through justification has declared us righteous. Furthermore, with our new POSITION, we have a new PURPOSE as we have now been given “the ministry of reconciliation.”
What is the ministry of reconciliation? As simply as I can state it, we are to SHARE what God did for us with others so they can have God do for them what He did for us!
Talk about a change!!!! We have gone from not knowing God to making God known!!
As a new person in your new position, are you fulfilling your new purpose? Are you sharing the good news, the gospel?
Having come to KNOW GOD, we now make God KNOWN to others who do not know God.
Continue Strong, making Him known,
And remember to daily DATE the Word
