But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him]. 2 Corinthians 5:18 AMPC
Since we know that we should be known as those with beautiful feet. Let us look a little closer at that point. Those with beautiful feet are ministers of reconciliation. What does it mean?
The human race was doomed to destruction because Adam sold his authority to the devil. And doing that, he got separated from God. In other words, Adam and God were no longer one Spirit. So, since Adam and Eve were the first of the human race, everyone born of them was also separated from God, and on and on like that. I believe many are familiar with this true story.
However, with this, Jesus who was born of God by a woman carried the Spirit of God. He was the one sent to reconcile man with God. Through His death and resurrection, this was achieved.
Now, because Jesus was raised, His resurrection symbolises a new beginning, as He is the last Adam, one who is one Spirit with God. This was what God wanted, for man to be one Him.
Jesus being the firstborn of the resurrection has told everyone born of God, those who made Jesus their new Adam, thus having a new Spirit (the Spirit of God). To live and share the message of reconciliation between God and man. For everyone to know the new life in Christ Jesus.
The life of every Son and Daughter of God should be unique, an express image of our Lord Jesus Christ, not in religiosity, but in true reality as their real life, not in eye service but in the oneness of the Spirit of Jesus. By doing this, we bring others into harmony with God.
When we are true to God, by being led by the Holy Spirit, people are drawn to God, because they see their hope coming alive.
The world is bound to be destroyed, and God doesn't want anyone destroyed with earth, but He cannot force us. We have to believe on our own, this is why we are the ministers of reconciliation to attract men to Christ.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven't? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
