We are ambassadors or representatives of Christ here on earth. We have an important task to present Christ’s Kingdom to the World. Thank you, Father, for making us, worthy representatives.

2Co 5:19 ‘that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.’ (ESV)

Through Christ, God reconciled the world (that include me) to Himself. He doesn’t count my sin to me because of what Jesus Christ did. I am reconciled to Father God.
