‘Christian’, Have you Reconciled Yourself to God?

2 Corinthians 5:19b “that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them.” - New International Version Colossians 1:20 “and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of His cross through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.” - Berean Literal Version ‘Christian’, you know that to reconcile yourself to another person means to receive that person into your favour again, don’t you? These verses above clearly state that God has already reconciled Himself… not to a someone, or an elect group… but to the whole cosmos! God has irreversibly received the whole of humanity to Himself the moment Jesus shed His Blood as ransom. And not only that… reconciliation from both parties is paramount important for stable peace to occur between the two. The one stretching out the hand of friendship is the one with a peaceful heart. The one rejecting it, is the one with a miserable heart. The ripple effect of peace will first and foremost span across all ‘Christendom’ borders and subsequently across all others’, when its members accept Paul’s message here. Do you? 2 Corinthians 5:14 “For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” - New International Version ‘Christian’, “compels” means to hold together. Here Paul reflects the unity between him and his fellow believers… the unity in Christ’s love. What love? The love of having died for ALL humanity. They took God’s Hand of friendship through the true CHRIST . They had peace, not only with God, but also with one another as a result. ‘Christians’, where’s your peace in your dividedness? Where’s your unity? Who’s your Christ? 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come : The old has gone, the new is here!” - New International Version 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 18  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19  that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20  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 .” - New International Version ‘Christian’, do you understand that to be reconciled to God from your part is only possible within the True Christ? Being born again is to be a new creation ”. Being born again is to be within the true Christ having His Spirit . For this to happen, one has to accept His act of salvation on the cross for ALL mankind. How? Simply by believing what you read and not believing what you want to believe. If you do not have an interlinear Bible, then get one and start examining those very verses that give you a headache. Start scrutinizing the true meanings of words like “forever”, “might”, “may”, “hate”, etc. and see for yourself how they became the tools to deceive. Start questioning until you have the peace you so desire! Once you have stable inner peace, you will know the Truth. You will experience God, and subsequently the world, from a totally different angle, the angle of love. Then your condemning forefinger will be put down and your open palms will be facing upwards… in joy… in peace… and in gratitude. Only when you have the Spirit of Christ you can have His support in drawing the world to Him by way of example and not by way of force through fearmongering with an everlasting hell of condemnation. Following the false ‘Christ’ out of fear leads to death. Following the true Christ out of love leads to life. May God help you to reconcile yourself to Him!
