Dear Mitchie Ann, My Loveskie:
Scripture Readings:
2 Corinthians 5:1-6:2 New International Version (NIV)Awaiting the New Body
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight.8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.9 So we make it our goal to please him,whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.13 If we are "out of our mind," as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[] The old has gone, the new is here!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.21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
6 As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.2 For he says,
"In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you."[]
I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation
Question and Answer:
Answer:
5 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found nȧkėd.
2. Explain in your own words the verses 4-5?
Answer:
4 Indeed, we groan while we are in this tent, burdened as we are, because we do not want to be unclothed but clothed, so that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 And the One who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.
- Explanation:
While living in our temporary houses or dwellings, we are burdened with our sufferings physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We wanted to cover ourselves because we are all grieving with our miseries caused by other people around us. We are feeling like we are being swallowed up by life. God, the One who is All-Powerful and All-Knowing, who gave us the Holy Spirit as His is initiative gift or grace for us. For He would be dwelling with us.
3. How does a true Christian lives? (verses 5:7-9)
Answer:
4. What kind of "ministry" did God gives us? (Verses 5:18-19)
Answer:
18 Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.
5. What does the "ministry" do? ( verses 5:20)
Answer:
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God."
6. As minister of reconciliation, what are we called and why? (verses 5:20-21)
Answer:
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God." 21 He made the One who did not know sin to be sin[]for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Answer:
I guess it is the verses 4-5. I believe God is walking with us. First, he gives us the Holy Spirit by grace and mercy. The Holy Spirit is one of the Three Persons of God. And then, we are ambassadors for Christ because Jesus Christ pleaded to the God the Father on our behalf. We should be reconciled with God every time we sinned. Because God is the one who did not know sin to be sin and He is All-Righteous.
