June 18, 2021 – Reconciliation

Our message is still the message of reconciliation. That is the message God gave us in Christ. That is a gift God has given us in Christ. “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation” (1 Corinthians 5:18-19). As if we represented the kingdom of God sent with God’s own pleading, “Be you reconciled to God in Christ and become the righteousness of God in Christ.”

The message is not our own message, but a message of our testimony of how God has fulfilled the message of reconciliation in our lives. God in Christ has redeemed me through the works of God in the earth. I have faith with works because God has already worked the work of faith. Any work that I do follows God’s works in the earth; God is the guide and the pathway. That is that God was in Christ Jesus doing the work of reconciliation for the world. God has given to us reconciliation with God and the message of reconciliation to take into all the world.
