Now then, we are
ambassadors for Christ,
as though God were
pleading through us:
we implore you on
Christ’s behalf,
be reconciled to God.
For He made Him who
knew no sin
to be sin for us,
that we might become
the righteousness of
God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5: 20
-- 21
How many of you have come to
realize that you were bought by Jesus Christ and now you are His possession?
Why would Jesus buy you? For what
purpose would Jesus buy a sinner? What
has Jesus to do with sin? Why would
Jesus, God Himself, come to Earth to be incarnated as a man and then suffer and
die a horrible death upon a cross? Who
do you think you are? Here is what all
true Authentic Christians are: and Ambassador for Christ! Until you come to know that that is what you
are then you will not do those things that Jesus Christ asked you to do. Oh!
You might do certain rituals some sort of antic or perform certain exercises,
which may be good or bad, may be truthful or not, but until you understand that
you are bought by the price of the life of Jesus dying upon the cross and now
having been bought you are to be His witness, and Ambassador for Him. The first thing to do is to be reconciled to
God! Until this is done, and until you
have converted to Him, not just simply believe, but have converted to Him then
you are not actually reconciled to Him.
Let us, then, take some moments of time to investigate the answers to
those above questions. We find in man
the propensity for good and bad, and yet, this difference in your nature and
origin; since God, who is the Good Author and Creator of all essences, has
created you. God did not create you to
be simply His puppet! God created you
with your own will end with this comes your own desires. When we look around about us we find that
some remain steadfast in God Himself, and in His eternity, His Love and
truth. Yet there are others who are so
enamored because of their own power, as if they could be their own good, lapsed
into this private good of their own and find themselves bartering for some lofty
dignity of eternity and all that is being done is an inflation of their
pride. We find this most assuredly in
their slyness of vanity, uniting love for factitious partisanship, and by this
they become proud, and envious. As
a purchased property who is being formed into the image of Jesus Christ's means
that we are also becoming His mouthpiece, His ambassador and do exactly what He
did: and that is to preach the gospel.
Therefore, our cause must be if we are to be His ambassador of the
Blessed good is adherence to God. Those
who are not adhered to God will be found to be in contradiction to God and
without God will find themselves mired in mud misery: no hope! How often we seek blessings from God and yet
we are not firmly adhered to God, therefore why should we expect God to
bless? There is no good, and no other
good, for the rational or intellectual creatures save God only! Mankind, who is not adhered to God does not
have the capacity to bless himself or herself. Why? For all was created
out of nothing, that is, they have nothing on which to attach the reasons for
what they do other than themselves.
Those who are blessed cannot be miserable because they cannot lose
themselves because they have been found and are now adhered to God. By His Only Begotten Son, they are bought,
they belong to God, and God has given His children the work of an
ambassador. That is to bring to the
world the gospel of Jesus Christ who came to earth to die for sin in this upon
a cross making just payment to himself, and now applies this payment to
whomever He so will to do so. God is
Good! God is an unchangeable
Good! God is the only true blessed God
and those things which He made are indeed good because they are from Him. Although you are mutable because you were
not made out a Him, rather you were made out of nothing and formed from the
dust of the earth. Therefore you are
not the supreme good, albeit, many think that they all are their own good. I'm not here speaking of philanthropic works, yet those who are blessed by God are
good for you are completely His and have received His good and good has not
been withheld from His children who are His who are His ambassadors while they are on
this earth and until He comes again.
Are you looking for satisfaction in this life? Good! Find your
satisfaction in the immutable good, the Supreme God. Go into your world, to wherever God may have sent you to go,
and be His witness for you all are his ambassadors and are reconciling the world
to Him. This all can be done, if we do
this very one thing, and that is to be adhered, converted to God.
The only way you can be worthy and your worth as an Ambassador, to receive His great glory and blessings is to be cleaved to God, so as to live for him, and to draw wisdom from Him, to delight in Him, and then to enjoy this so
great Good, one that is for you without death, error, or grief. Jesus Christ was made to be sin, for He took
sin upon Himself so that by means of your repentance and adherence to God your
sins could be remitted and for you to become the righteousness of God. God has given His children this great work
to spread the gospel. The question for
each of us is: are we spreading the gospel by means of our lives, how we
exercise our lives, and are we intentionally studying God's Word and allowing
the Holy Spirit by means of His word and have become an Authentic Christian His
ambassador?
Remember to magnify His work,
which men
have sung.
Everyone has seen it; man looks on it
from afar.
Job 36: 24 -- 25
At this also my heart
trembles,
in leaps
from its place.
Job 37: 1
Today be His ambassador
