To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:19-21

The Apostle Paul talks about being reconciled back to God, how is this possible? How can a wretched sinner like me, be reconciled back to a Holy God? That is the core of the gospel message, and it’s only possible through Jesus Christ! This is why Jesus is the only way to salvation (John 14:6, Acts 4:12) This is why Christianity is the only true religion, no other religion or anyone else provides a way for you to be reconciled back to God!

To understand this first we need to understand we are all sinners! (Romans 3:23) And because of our sin, we have become separated from God (Isaiah 59:2)A sign of a false religion is people who believe they can earn their salvation or earn the favor of God, as the wages of our sin is eternal death! (Romans 6:23)

So how did God make a salvation plan for us, notice what Paul says here “For He (Father) has made Him (Christ) to be sin for us, who (Christ), knew no sin, that we (Christians) might be made the righteousness of God in Him (Christ) Wow , what an amazing revelation made by the Holy Spirit through Paul

Why did Jesus die on the cross for us? Because Christ became the Lamb of God who paid the penalty for our sin, so we can be declared righteous before God. It’s only by the blood of Jesus, that you can be washed clean of your sin and be reconciled back to God

The world will tell you , there are many ways or paths to God or Heaven, this is a lie from Satan. It’s only through Jesus Christ that you can be saved, because your sins have separated you from God. Once you understand this, you understand the beauty of the gospel message, you understand the love of God through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen!
