Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting peopleβs sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christβs ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christβs behalf: Be reconciled to God."
