We Are Sharing Christ's Love
2 Corinthians 5:14-21
INTRODUCTION
1865- Williams Booth- Methodist minister- left pulpit to go work with the poor.
They were not allowed in the existing churches so he started his own.
3 S’s- Soup, Soap, Salvation
Volunteer Army became Salvation Army
Today one of the great benevolence societies in the world- but not much of a church exists.
1890’s “In His Steps”- by Charles Sheldon- Social Gospel Movement
WWJD
Proclamation and Demonstration- Can’t be separated.
James 2- dead faith=say it and don’t help
Our Unity leads to us being The Body of Christ.
We must love like Jesus loved.
Guided by God’s Word, Del Norte Baptist Church is a united community of believers worshiping together, growing in Christ, and sharing Christ’s love.
3 Reasons We Share Christ's Love
1- Christ's Love Controls Us (14-15)
Christ’s love controls us
This is true of all believers.
Jesus died so we can live.
We live so we can die.
Surrender= Jesus gets his way in our life.
We live differently.
2- Christ's Sight Controls Us (16-17)
The Gospel is not “you do” it is “Jesus did”
“according to the flesh”= we don’t see people by the earthly abilities or disabilities.
We see them spiritually.
- not physically.
Are they someone who is going to heaven or hell?
We become a new creation.
We see new.
We get a new perspective.
We must see our community as Jesus sees it.
If we truly see others as Jesus did, how do we live differently?
Jesus died for them.
Jesus wept for the lostness- sheep without a shepherd.
How do we know if someone is saved?
Have they been changed?
Fruit.
3- Christ's Mission Controls Us (18-20)
2 Parts of Reconciliation
Our Reconciliation with God
Through Christ- because Christ paid for what separated us from God.
“not counting their trespasses...”= imputation.
Banking term.
Jesus paid a debt we could not pay.
Through Christ- reconciled the world.
Christ died for all.
How God provided reconciliation (vs 21)
Christ put the weight of sin on his shoulders for us.
Others Reconciliation with God
3 Titles Paul Gives Believers
A- Ministers of Reconciliation (18-19)
Given Ministry of Reconciliation (18)
helping people restore their relationship with God.
19 "counting"= imputation= banking term.
It is not a debt any longer.
Balance sheet says zero.
"wages of sin is death" but gift of God is...
Given Message of Reconciliation (19)
The Gospel
B- Ambassadors for Christ (20)
ILL- Walmart- have to have an office in NW Arkansas- you come to them.
ILL- Rome- Ambassador: High official representing a king.
Rome didn’t send Ambassadors, they received ambassadors.
Rome sent armies and governors.
They received ambassadors who came to surrender.
We are ambassadors in chains.
God making his appeal through us.
It is the only way man will hear the good news.
He couldn't have found a different way.
But he chose to use us.
C- Righteousness of God (21)
Righteousness is an act.
We are the righteous acts.
Because we have been saved.
Because we have been changed.
It should be seen by those around us every day.
We are different because he changed us.
CONCLUSION
Have you been reconciled to God?
Are you helping others to be reconciled with God?
