Title The Reconciling Saints/Ephesians 2:12-18
Content Reconciliation Saints / Ephesians 2:12-18
Among the many offices that God has given us, such as evangelism, service, devotion, and loyalty, the essential thing is reconciliation. Why should we have the ministry of reconciliation? Because he is a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus is peace. Jesus died on the cross to make peace between God and us all his life, and he stood on the side of the poor to bring about peace in life. Even on the cross, he prayed for forgiveness toward the people who harmed him, and even though he was reviled, he did not curse, and he completed a life of peace. In this way, we, who depend on and follow the Lord, must also live in peace. So, how do we achieve peace?
First, you must make peace with God. Looking at the relationship between God and the characters in the Bible, our lives have always been disobedient to God's Word and discord. Adam was at odds by greedy for the fruit of one tree he was told not to eat, leaving hundreds of fruits to be eaten. Cain neglected to offer sacrifices to God, and then he discorded with God, and his hatred was passed on to Abel whom God loved, and he committed the sin of killing him. Humans have become more rebellious the further down they go. Then Jesus came to this earth to show us a clear way. We believe that when we rely on Jesus, repent, and believe in His name, we can make peace with God.
Lastly, I hope you are at peace with your family. As the old saying goes, it's better to be right with a blank slate. The life of faith is also stronger and more fruitful when you are with your family, and you experience blessings. To do that, you should always be at peace with your family.
Beloved, in order to achieve reconciliation, we must have the eyes of reconciliation. It is an eye that only sees the good. We must also have a language of reconciliation. You must have the wisdom to use good language to others. We also need an ear of reconciliation. Whatever you say, you must accept it with a generous heart. So, I hope you enjoy the precious blessing of becoming a beautiful child of God by making peace with God and people every day.
