All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to himself, no longer counting people's sins against.  This is the wonderful message he  has given us to tell others.

We are Christ ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, "Be reconciled to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
