“The Message of Reconciliation”

 “The Message of Reconciliation”

That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’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.     2 Corinthians 5:19-20

The act of RECONCILIATION is REMOVING the HOSTILE, REBELLIOUS and SINFUL attributes from those who are at ENMITY with the ALMIGHTY GOD.  The moment a person becomes a TRUE BELIEVER, their OLD LIFE of SLAVERY to sin is GONE, and they receive a NEW LIFE, which is one of DEVOTION to Christ Jesus.  They will possess NEW ATTITUDES and ACTIONS, and they become a NEW CREATURE in CHRIST. 

RECONCILIATION is one of the MANY WONDERFUL accomplishments of the ETERNAL GODHEAD, and it is awarded to those who COME to CHRIST JESUS, and TRULY BELIEVE in Him for SALVATION from their SINS.  Jesus made PEACE between mankind and God, and THOSE who BELIEVE will no longer be the OBJECTS of GOD’S WRATH.  By placing their TRUST in the RECONCILING WORK of CHRIST, they pass from SPIRITUAL DEATH to SPIRITUAL LIFE.  And their SINS are NO LONGER counted AGAINST THEM, for JESUS CHRIST, the ONE and ONLY SON of the LIVING GOD, who had NO SIN became SIN for US, so that in HIM we MIGHT become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD. NOW, that ought to make us want to SHOUT HALLELUJAH!!!  And this is the MESSAGE of RECONCILIATION.  Do YOU possess the RECONCILIATION from JESUS CHRIST?

If you have NOT been RECONCILED to God, then you do NOT POSSESS the SALVATION of your SINS and you are FACING a SPIRITUAL DEATH that will bring you an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to be RECONCILED to GOD, and to POSSESS a SPIRITUAL LIFE, with an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, YOU MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS  CHRIST, who gave HIS life to SAVE YOURS.  He took on ALL the SINS of ALL MANKIND, to be able to RECONCILE them to ALMIGHTY GOD.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN to GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be willing to become His AMBASSADOR sharing the MESSAGE of RECONCILIATION, and become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.   He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T be LEFT BEHIND!!!
