218: Ambassadors of God | 2 Corinthians 5:20

God has invited us to join Him in His restoration of the world. We are God's ambassadors, living our lives "as though God were making his appeal through us." (2 Cor. 5:20) This week, we have been looking at four incredible verses in 2 Corinthians 5. We have learned that through Christ, we are a new creation. Our old ways are gone. We have new life. We also learned that God is not angry with us. He desires to have a relationship with us. God is more concerned about His plans for our future than He is about our mistakes in our past. Finally, 2 Corinthians 5 lays out the idea of the ministry of reconciliation. Since we have been healed, given new life, and restored back to God, we now share in this mission. We have been called to use our experiences to spread life and love and forgiveness throughout this world. God has invited us to participate. Let that sink in for a minute. God has invited us to be His ambassadors. I encourage you to take the love and forgiveness you have experienced in your life and turn around and pass it on to others. This is you calling.   About One Verse One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
