Dear Beloved, 

The word is very clear that before you were born in your mother's womb, God knew you. He fashioned the innermost parts of your being and you were created to serve Him.  So ultimately, our whole journey on this side is about returning back to the Father so that He might be gracious and merciful to forgive our sins and grant Freedom Indeed. Miraculously, the very moment you Believe, God's Spirit enters your Spirit and all things are made NEW. You become a citizen of His Kingdom, a child of God, and ambassador for his great misison to restore humanity.  "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord." Zechariah 4:6 

The ministry of reconciliation refers to the work believers have been given to do and the message they declare: you can have a restored relationship with God through Jesus. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 

The Call involves the proclamation of the gospel and its assurance that forgiveness of sin is available in Christ. Sin prevents us from having a relationship with God, but Jesus' perfect sacrifice on the cross made atonement for sin (Hebrews 2:17) and brought harmony to mankind's relationship with Him. Jesus reconciled us to God. Now we proclaim that people can repent of their sin and experience New Life on THIS side.  

Truly, there's nothing more humbling, life changing, and satisfying than falling in Love with Jesus, Resting in His Grace, and Making His ways known in everyday ordinary life. I pray you continue to walk by faith and not by sight on the way Home.
