2 Corinthians 6:1-2
"We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye
receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have
heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I succoured thee: behold
now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation.)"
There is no other position of more responsibility than that of Ambassador. A Christian is always like that. He lives in the world; he takes part in all the life and work of the world; but he is a citizen of heaven. To that extent he is a stranger. The man who is not willing to be different cannot be a Christian at all. There are times when the Christian has to speak for Christ. In the decisions and the counsels of the world, his must be the voice which brings the message of Christ to the human situation.
It is the Christian's proud privilege and almost terrifying responsibility, because The honour of Christ and of the Church are in his hands. By his every word and action he can make men think more or less of his Church and of God.
My Friends, We must "Be reconciled to God." The New Testament never speaks of God being reconciled to men, but always of men being reconciled to God. There is no question of pacifying an angry God. The whole process of salvation takes its beginning from Him. It was because God so loved the world that He sent His son. It is not that God is estranged from man, but that man is estranged from Him. God's message, the message which Paul brought, is an appeal from a loving Father to wandering and estranged children to come home where love is waiting for them. Be A Voice For God Today.
Amen!
