Scriptures Reviewed: II Cor. 5:18-21
Discipleship Points: God has reconciled the world to Himself, not imputing their sins to them and given us the ministry of reconciliation. Believers are to take the Gospel to others to fulfil the ministry God has given us. Verse 20 furthers this point given we are ambassadors for God, as if God was pleading through us. And as verse 21 states, believers are MADE righteous. Some churches & leaders stumble at the second half of 21, preferring to belief we MUST do something to be righteous. i.e. the Good News cannot be that GOOD!
