We Are Therefore Christ’s Ambassadors”

 

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 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. 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. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

 

2 Corinthians 5:18-21

 

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

 

2 Corinthians 6:1-2

 

There is an important door we must all go through before it closes. It is the door of God’s mercy.

 

Christ came, died for our sins, and has risen from the grave. He has opened the way for us to be reconciled to God and has proclaimed for us the day of salvation.

 

Our response to Jesus Christ determines our destiny. We must enter heaven through Jesus Christ. Our response to Him is our destiny.

 

There’s no better day than today to enter into God’s family.
