We are Christs ambassadors

  We are Christs ambassadors

The apostle Paul writes,

“We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

Here is an important fact all Christians, all believers in Christ Jesus need to understand. We are Christ’s ambassadors. 

Which means in is through the lense of our words and deeds that people will see God. If your actions and words are not showing love then people will think God is not a God of love. On the other hand. If your words and deeds are showing the unconditional love of God then people will see God as a God of love.

So my question to you is, when people look at your words and deeds what do they see?

Please think about it.

Judge those inside

 Judge those inside

The apostle Paul writes,

"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."  2 Corinthians 5:20

As Christians, believers in Christ Jesus we are Christ’s ambassadors. An ambassador is one who represents a country in a foreign land. People in that foreign land see the country he or she represents through the words and deeds of the ambassador.

The same is true when it comes to Christians. People look to Christians to correctly represent Christ. Sadly way too many calling themselves Christians are not, or at least their words actions are not correctly representing Christ.

While I know that Christians are told to look to Christ and not a particular evangelist or preacher. Those who are not Christians do not know this. They see someone who claims to be Christian acting badly and say to themselves they want no part of Christianity.

North America and particularly the United States is full of men and women, evangelist and pastors claiming to be Christians that are not. 

These men and women are bringing Christ’s name into disrepute. And God will one day judge them. In the mean time it is up to those who love Christ to speak out against false teachers in our midst. We must remember the words of the apostle Paul who said,

"What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?  God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." 1 Corinthians 5:12,13.

Please think about it.
