Song # 1628.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of 2 Corinthians we read in chapter 5 that God has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus.
Christ’s love compels us to believe that One died for all, and therefore all died (2 Corinthians 5:14). And He died for all, that those who love should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again (2 Corinthians 5:15). So from now on we regard no-one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer (2 Corinthians 5:16). Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18), that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And He has committed us to the message of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19). 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). 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 5:21).
Thought for today: His love was shown, when He came as a man.
Thought for tomorrow: now is the time to invest in heaven. Where will you spend your eternity?
