“Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence. God has done all this. He has restored our relationship with Him through Christ, and has given us this ministry of restoring relationships.”
Most of us (those who read this) is already a believer in Christ is a NEW creation. The old way of living has disappeared. THINK ABOUT THAT! If you had a car that had lot’s of problems, and you realized it was your fault because you didn’t take care of it. You would feel pretty bad.
BUT, what if you see a person coming down your road, someone you have never seen, and he looks like he wants something. Well, there’s one way to find out. So you stick out your hand and he did the same. After you talk to him for a while you could tell this man had some serious money. He told you that he did indeed have lots of money. He said, “Yes, the Lord has blessed me.“
OK, take a minute to ponder…
A) Believer in Christ is a NEW creation…
B) The OLD way of living has disappeared…
C) A NEW WAY of living has come into existence…
D) God has done ALL this…
E) God restored our relationship with Him THROUGH Christ…
F) Has given US this ministry of restoring relationships…
(2 Cor 5:17-19 GW)
“In other words, God was using Christ to restore His relationship with humanity. He didn’t hold people’s FAULTS against them, and He has given US this message of restored relationships TO TELL OTHERS.”
In Him,
Pastor Kevin Kinchen
Oh, the man in my story is JESUS!
“Therefore, we are Christ’s representatives, and through us, God is calling you. We beg you on behalf of Christ to become reunited with God. God had Christ, who was sinless, take our sin so that we might receive God’s approval through Him.”
(2 Cor 5:20-21 GW)
