Oh To Be Wise Meditations
My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. It was bought with a price, and so, I will use it to glorify God. Christ's love compels me to do this. We are ruled by Christ's love for us. We are certain that if one person died for everyone else, then all of us have died. He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake. So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us; we as Christ’s representatives plead with people on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God. For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. We work together with God, and I beg you to make good use of God's gift of undeserved grace. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.
