Ambassadors of God

UV 3702/10000 Ambassadors of God So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us; we ( as Christ’s representatives) plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5 v 20 We are the representatives, ambassadors, viceroys of the King of Kings, the High Priest of Heaven, Jesus. God uses us as channels to reach His love, mercy and grace to the world. We are to be persuasive or plead with the people of this world to be reconciled to God. We are ministers of reconciliation. We represent the righteousness of God on earth. We are to convey the message of reconciliation to the others who are not yet reconciled with God, whose sin is still held against them. We are to, basically, convey to people that their debts are cancelled. They owe nothing to the law or to God in terms of payment, punishment, penalty, judgement on account of such cancellation. Just as ambassadors arriving newly in countries to which they are appointed present their credentials to the ruler, the head of the country, we should present our credentials to the rulers of this world. We represent the interests of the kingdom of God on earth and we are to advance it by every means at our disposal. As holders of the high office of High Commissioner, we are to act with a sense of dignity, loyalty and wisdom in this world. In anything we say or do, we should not lower the name of Christ in this world. Instead, we should do everything that lies with us to advance His name and rule in this world. As ambassadors of Christ, we cannot remain ignorant of the constitution of the kingdom of God- the word of God. We cannot be ignorant but highly aware of the condition or state of this world. Our mission in this world is to win as many Friends of God as it is possible. To this end we need to stretch every nerve and muscle in our being. We have to convince people that the Lord has no intention to harm them but to help them and to give them hope and a future in eternity. As ambassadors of God in this world, we need to respect the laws of this land without losing our spiritual identity. We, literally, need to be in the world but not of this world, ready to pack up at a moment’s notice.
