Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are also a new creation: What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons in their way of life and their way of thinking. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. We are reborn and a new life has begun! All this is from God, who brought us back to himself through the death of Christ on the cross, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, God was in Christ correlating the world to himself, not counting their sins against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So therefore, we are His representatives for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we implore you on behalf of Christ, to reconcile yourselves to God.
As Christians, we have resources to help us keep going when our human nature demands that we give up and quit. We have the power of God's presence and Christian fellowship. God listens to every prayer when we call and pays attention to all our problems; sometimes saying no, sometimes saying yes, and sometimes saying wait. Alone, without Christian friends or God, we are vulnerable to brokenness. With God and his people, we can withstand the worst oppression. Ultimately, the key to dealing with life’s problems rests upon our relationship with God and his people.
Let me ask these questions! Do you sometimes find yourself frightened and all alone? Is your life everything you ever wanted it to be? Have you ever felt that you are searching for something more to fill the emptiness in your life? Is your heart hurting right now because of a troubled or broken relationship? If any of these or similar questions keep coming back to you; then my friend, I invite you to walk the path on the road to salvation.
