(2 Corinthians 5:19)…..that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
The Good News is about reconciliation between God and man. Jesus Christ accomplished it, by His own power and might. Mankind was estranged from God. We had gone our own way, were lost, dead, and couldn’t find our way back to relationship or fellowship with God. Fortunately, God loved us and did something to help us.
Two extremely important ideas are presented in the above verse.
First, God is not holding people’s sins against them when they believe His gospel! As far as God is concerned, Christ’s sacrifice paid the penalty for all sin, and God considers the those who believe on Him reconciled back to Him. Second, this wonderful good news of what God has done has been committed to us. Human beings must tell it. If we don’t it won’t be told. People can live and die and never know the glorious truth that God’s gospel brings- if no one tells them. They need to know they can be forgiven, loved by God, and welcomed to come back into fellowship with Him through Christ.
Think about this: God is interested in your reconciliation. He is inviting others to be reconciled now through you.
