"All This Is from God" - 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
This morning, we continue the series entitled ALL IN ALL. In this series, we will be spending some time in Paul's second letter to the church of Corinth. It is here that we will see how God is our all in all. As the One True Living God, the Creator of all, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing, all-present, He supplies our every need.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-21 (NIV)
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 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 people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal though us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
TAKEAWAYS FROM 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-21
