God calls us to tell others how they might have a relationship with Him (the ministry of reconciliation). To ‘Reconcile or reconciliation’ means to have a right connection or relationship with God. Due to sin we cannot come into a saving knowledge of God, it is only by the confession and belief in Christ that we have this gift. God does not and will not dwell in sin. Christ’s death takes that sin from you and me and places it onto Christ’s death on the cross. In Christ, God is reconciling people to Himself, not counting their sin against them. God gives us the mission of carrying the gospel, the message of this reconciliation with God, to as many people as possible. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5: 18, NIV). How might you share the good news of reconciliation with others in your daily life?
