Reborn Identity

2 Corinthians 5:14-21

14For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

16So 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. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Reflection of Bee:

What can you do if you are dead? "Nothing", you may say. Right, when you are dead you can no longer do anything. However, if someone die on your behalf then the life you have now is no longer your own. That's precisely what v15 is saying... we who are saved by the blood of Jesus should live for Him.

Dear Lord,
Thank You for reminding me that my life is not my own but Yours. Teach me to leave a life worthy of You. I pray that You will guide me in the work I may do that it will help bring others to Your kingdom.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
