There is but one way to righteousness, and that way is personally trusting Christ as our Lord and Savior.  In doing so, we are said to be “in Christ”.   Chapter 5 indicates that each man must give account for His actions in this life, yet if we are in Christ we are a new creation; the old has passed away; behold new things have come. We have been reconciled to Him. 

As a matter of fact He is reconciling all things to Himself through Christ and you are part of that process.  He has reconciled you to be a reconciler for Him.  He has equipped you for this ministry with the  word of reconciliation. Let’s get ministering!

Personal Reflection

All believers are in the ministry of reconciliation. They are ambassadors for Christ; pointing to Him in all that they do. Their lives are no longer their own, but His for His good purposes.  Your life is not your own but His, if He is your Savior and Lord.  Surrender to Him completely and be a reconciler.  

Prayer Focus

Gracious God, increase our understanding that you have rescued us for your glory and mission.  Give us your heart for ministering to and reconciling others.  We love you LORD and praise you for all your mighty works!  You are our all in all!  We lift all of this to you in Christ Jesus! Amen!
