rinthi

thians 5:1 :14-21 (Mes Messag age) e) Our fjrm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for

everyone. That puts everyone in the same
boat. He included everyone in his death so

that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrectjon life, a far betuer life than people ever lived on their own.

rinthi

thians 5:1 :14-21 (Mes Messag age) e) Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore

rinthi

thians 5:1 :14-21 (Mes Messag age) e) Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who setuled the relatjonship between us and him, and then called us to setule our relatjonships with each other.

rinthi

thians 5:1 :14-21 (Mes Messag age) e) God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by ofgering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We’re Christ’s representatjves.

rinthi

thians 5:1 :14-21 (Mes Messag age) e) God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their difgerences and enter into God’s work of making things right between

them. We’re speaking for Christ himself

now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.
