The Ambassadors of Christ

Christ died for all,
that those who live should no longer live for themselves
but for him who died for them
and was raised again.

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry 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.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

(2 Corinthians 5:15-21;
All scripture taken from New International Version.)

Are YOU living for YOURSELF?
