Anyone Who Believes In Christ
Is A New Creation
So
from now on we don't look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we
looked at Christ in that way. But we don't anymore.
Anyone
who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come! It
is all from God. He brought us back to himself through Christ's death on the
cross. And he has given us the task of bringing others back to him through
Christ.
God
was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people's
sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be
brought back to him. So we are Christ's official messengers. It is as if God
were making his appeal through us. Here is what Christ wants us to beg you to
do. Come back to God!
Christ
didn't have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made
right with God because of what Christ has done for us.
2 Corinthians 5:16-21
Serve
Christ no matter what your shattered dreams may be. When we are the weakest, we
can be the strongest. We have to reach the lows of life in order to call out to
our Lord Jesus. He pulls us up, He gives us courage, He
should be our reason for living.
Reflect
on what your belief in Jesus has done for you.
We
all have a calling. Listen for it and find out what yours is, and then do it.
One
of the qualities God looks for in His people is a heart that is willing to
serve Him.
