2 Corinthians 5

Good Morning “New Creations with expectation.”  Let’s take a look at 2 Corinthians 5.

Paul speaks here about his longing to be with God in Heaven.  Nevertheless; as long as he / we are here, we have work to do.  It’s an honor to serve Him!  It’s a privilege!  We GET to be involved in the most important work in the world!  Our time here is limited, and someday we WILL give an account for how we spent it!   Through Jesus, and The Holy Spirit who dwells in us we are now different.   Check it out:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He saved us with good work already in mind for us to do.  What is it?  Sharing what we have - Jesus!  Helping everyone we come in contact with understand the offer of Salvation through Jesus.  Earlier Paul says he no longer regards anyone from a worldly point of view.  In other words… what will their eternity look like?  He saved us with the expectation that we will be so pumped up about it we won’t keep it to ourselves!  

Are you pumped up?  We got one job.

“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. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ NIV

If you’re still trying to navigate life on your own, earn your way into heaven - I’d love to introduce you to a better way!  Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and The Life!  No one comes to the Father but through Him!  John 14:6.

Dig in!  Know Him!  Share Him!  Love you all!
