The Invitation of Reconciliation

2 Corinthians 5:18 says, “Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”

When we surrender our lives to Jesus and place our faith in Him, we experience reconciliation to God. We are changed into a new creation, which means we receive a new outlook and perspective as God welcomes us into His family, forgives our sins, and invites us into His presence.

The result is a personal relationship with God—now and forever—as we seek Him, pursue Him, and spend time in fellowship with Him.

Before this, separation existed, and as sinful humans, there is nothing we can do on our own to make things right between us and the almighty, holy God, creator of the universe. However, God gave us one way to reconcile with Him: putting our faith in Christ, who died in our place so that we could live, be in right standing with God, and know Him intimately.

This reconciliation means we are no longer against God, and He’s not counting our sins against us—because Jesus paid the price for our sin when He went to the cross on our behalf.

Now, we are united with God, on the same team, joining Him as He reconciles the world to Himself through Christ. He has given us the ministry of reconciliation, so it’s our mission to tell others the good news that they, too, can be forgiven and made right with God.

The apostle Paul writes in verses 19-20 that God “...has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making His appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, ‘Be reconciled to God.’”

Let’s accept and share this life-changing invitation of reconciliation.
