THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION ALL THIS IS FROM GOD, WHO RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST AND GAVE IS THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION. II CORIN. 5:18

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION What does it mean to reconcile?

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION 5 R’s of Reconciliation  Reestablish a relationship  Resolve conflicts/differences  Resign, accept another persons situation or position  Reunite, harmonize and make peace before each other  Restore communion, relationship with another

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  You do not reconcile with strangers but friends (husbands, wives, parents, children). When God reconciles us He takes us to Him as His children.  To unite, by removing the enmity and changing from the position of hostility to a relationship of friendship.

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  The word “reconciliation” has a beautiful ring to it even in terms of human life  For relationships broken by bitterness and distance and hurt  For friends who have fallen out.  For parents and children whose relationship is now broken, hostile, and painful.

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  We are ambassadors  We are called to the ministry of reconcile those that aren’t born again to God through our witness.  It is also our job for that ministry of reconciliation to work in the Body of Christ.

 We are ambassadors, messengers, representatives who have not come to speak in our own name, nor to deliver our own message and our own authority.  We have not come to bring our own opinion. But the Christian ministry has been sent in the stead of Christ, in the place of Christ, to declare what God has done through Jesus Christ declared in His word (the bible).

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  How do you know when a relationship has been reconciled?

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  How do you trust a person's confession?  How do you know when there's true repentance?  Do tears and brokenness mean Godly sorrow? Are the tears because of the consequences of being caught?  Do some sins disqualify you as a child of God?  Satan is eager to assist self's deception. He distorts thinking, beliefs, and behaviors heightens spirits hopelessness.

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  God so love the world that He gave…. John 3:16  To reconcile we must give of ourselves  We must let go of pride and let the love of God be our guide.  For when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life. Rom. 5:10

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  God didn’t count our sins against us but loved us so much that he had His son die on the cross for us.  Christ satisfied God’s judgment and made it possible for God’s enemies, (us), to find peace with Him.  Our reconciliation to God, then involves the exercise of His love, grace and the forgiveness of our sins.

THE POWER OF LOVE-RECONCILIATION  The result of Jesus’ love for us through His sacrifice changed our relationship from enmity to friendship.  We are no longer call you servants…..instead He calls us friends. John 15:15  This is Christian reconciliation  Since we want to be like Christ, He has also given to us the ministry of reconciliation
