2 CORINTHIANS 5:20-21

We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:20-21) An ambassador is a resident representative for the head of state of their own country. As citizens of Heaven, we are authorized to represent our King, the Lord Jesus Christ, here on Earth. Because of what Jesus did on the cross at Calvary you! Yes, you! Have been put in right standing with God. By the shedding of the blood of the Lamb of God! No longer are you a slave, but now a child of the King. The logic supporting the plea in verse 20, to be reconciled to God, is found in verse 21: the sin separating us from God has been dealt with through Christ. So we no longer need to hide from God, or fear His judgment. Instead, we can enjoy His gift of being made right with Him. A good ambassador for Heaven must know the Word of God, and live it out accurately and according to the will of God! So that others will want to accompany you back to your Father's house. After He has many rooms, He wants His house full!
