CHURCH IN 90 SECONDS
In 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 18,
Gods Word says:
“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave unto US the ministry of reconciliation.” ASV
………………………
Is the verse above talking about JUST Christians being reconciled to God through the finished work of Christ on the cross?
NO! It’s speaking of the reconciliation of the WORLD to God.
But aren’t they on a Hell bound train? Of course. But it is the goodness of God that draws men to repentance, not some raving religious nut on the corner screaming “you are all going to Hell”.
THAT guy pushes the worldly folks farther away from God. Love and reconciliation (the GOODNESS of God) draws the world in towards the Father.
Read further: “We are ambassadors therefore on BEHALF of Christ, as though God were entreating BY us: WE beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:20 ASV
It’s OUR job to let the fallen world know that the gates of Heaven were opened wide 2000 years ago by Jesus death on the cross. He paid the price for ANYBODY and EVERYBODY to march on in just as soon as they accept Him as their Saviour.
Many people think that they aren’t good enough to get in to God’s Kingdom. That past mistakes will keep them out, so why bother trying?
Good gosh, if that was the case, NONE of us could get in!
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If ANYBODY will accept that fact, they are literally, instantly, Heaven bound.
The Holy Spirit will clean them up on their life journey toward Heaven, but they do have their ticket punched immediately, and are on the train heading toward eternal life with the King of kings! Yippee!
Goodness gracious people, TELL somebody that today won’t you?
We’re running out of time here!
