‘Reconciled’ to God through Christ, we have received ‘the
ministry of reconciliation.’ Saved by Him, we are to ‘work with Him.’ We
are ‘not to accept the grace of God in vain’ by living for ourselves.
We are to be ‘ambassadors for Christ.’ We must proclaim the urgent
message of salvation - ‘now is the acceptable time, now is the day of
salvation.’ We must call men and women to respond to God’s message of
salvation: ‘Be reconciled to God’ (2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2). If we are to
be effective ‘ambassadors for Christ’, we must dedicate our lives to
Him: ‘Let us cleanse ourselves… and make holiness perfect in the fear of
God’(2 Corinthians 7:1). Without this heartfelt commitment to godly
living, we cannot really serve the Lord at all. Our wrong lives will
drown out our ‘right’ words. We need true lives as well as ‘true’ words.
