An instrument of reconciliation in the hands of God

An instrument of reconciliation in the hands of God

2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Reading through this passage recently, it just struck me anew at how plain and simple our faith and standing is with God.

All things are of God. God has the supreme authority to choose and declare His will upon mankind. Who are we to resist or challenge it! Who are we, being the clay, to voice out what we think the Potter must do to save us, and how! It is God, who in His administration, chose to reconcile us to Himself, by the sole means of His Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Son alone may be honoured with all glory and power.

The world is in a mess, right! So, what are we to be doing about it? I hear so many ‘Christians’ saying that we need to resist the changes happening in this age and make our mark on society. I don’t know about you, but I think this is the wrong mindset! If you know Bible prophecy, you will know that what is happening in the world today is part of God’s plan. I like to say that things are not falling apart (as so many think), rather things are starting to fall into place! This gives me such hope for our Lord’s soon return.

Does God expect us to halt the immorality of man? Does God expect us to stop the rise of evil? Does God expect us to disarm the Antichrist and spoil his plans? Of course not! Again, these things MUST take place. Judgement is coming upon the world. So, what then does God expect of us?
