One Flesh
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 ESV
We regard no one according to the flesh... Why do we gossip and talk poorly of one another? Therefore if any one is in Christ he is a new creation, the the old has passed away behold the new has come... Are you a new creation? Do you feel differently and act differently, showing the hope that is Christ in your daily life? All this is from God... Do you praise and thank God daily? Not counting our trespasses against us... Do you know as a new creation God does not see our sin? Entrusting to us the message of reconciliation... Are we bold to share our faith when given the opportunity? We are ambassadors of Christ... Are we pointing to Christ in all we do? God is making His appeal through us... Are we living out God's grace, showing the world there is hope and promise in Him? Be reconciled to God... Do you spend time with God every day, in His Word, in prayer,min devotion, in community and fellowship with other believers? He who had no sin was made to bear our sin... Are we thankful for the gift of life given us by Christ? We might become the righteousness of God... We are made righteous by the body and blood of Jesus Christ, has it affected you in a mighty life changing way? If you need help with any of these questions contact me our your pastor. Don't have a pastor contact me and I will help you find one. Amen <><
