What ministry did God give believers after reconciling them?
After reconciling believers to Himself through Jesus Christ, God did not stop there; He gave them the ministry of reconciliation. This ministry means believers are entrusted with proclaiming that God has reconciled the world to Himself through Christ. This ministry of reconciliation is tied to their ambassadorship for Christ.
Les explains that in 2 Corinthians 5, after God reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, He did not stop there. He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Les connects this to the believer's position as a citizen of Heaven living on earth, an ambassador. The ministry is the outworking of being a new creation in Christ, with old things passed away and all things become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
