If you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, then you’re an Ambassador for Christ.
In 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Paul says,
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
The Bible declares that Jesus Is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. He’s been given the name above every name and has all authority over all of creation. He’s made a decision that you are to be His ambassador to the world.
An ambassador is the highest-ranking representative of one nation to another nation. In the United States, the President is the one who appoints ambassadors with the approval of Congress. The ambassador represents the United States and communicates the message of the President to foreign representatives.
So let’s put this into the Biblical context. You’re God’s ambassador. That means you’re God’s highest representative of Christ on the earth. It may be hard to believe, but it’s true. You represent God to people on the earth.
Your appointment to this position came from Jesus Himself as He proclaimed His purpose for His people to represent Him in all the earth. It’s called the Great Commission.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
As an ambassador you don’t represent yourself, you represent the one who sent you. Therefore the message you speak is not your own, but the one who sent you. You’re communicating the heart of the Father and Jesus to those who are on the earth.
The message that God wants to speak is one of peace and reconciliation. Those who do not know Christ are condemned before God. As you know Jesus made a way for man to be forgiven and reconciled to God by going to the cross and dying in our place.
God’s heart is for people. He loves them so much that He was willing to send Jesus to die on the cross so He could save them and bring them into His family. God wants peace with man. He wants every person on earth to be reconciled to Him.
That’s the message. The Good News is that God is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus Christ. Forgiveness is available through His sacrifice. Man can come to God and be restored.
When we speak to people on behalf of God it’s as though He is speaking through us. Paul put it this way. He said it was “as though God were making an appeal through us.” Paul begged the Corinthians to be reconciled to God.
God has a passion for people to come to Him and He’s chosen you to be His ambassador. He wants you to tell others that God has made a way for them to come to Him through Jesus.
The message is simple. Your sin has separated you from God, but He loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross and bear the penalty of your sin. You can be reconciled to God through faith in Christ and become the righteousness of God in Him.
There are some on the earth that misrepresent God and speak messages of hate toward people. This is not the message of God. .So there are many people that believe that God hates them and is against them and wants nothing to do with them.
That’s why you are here on earth. To proclaim God’s message of reconciliation. You’re here to love people and share the Good News of the Gospel with them so they can understand just how much God loves them. You're here to remind people that God is for them and not against them.
As God’s ambassador, you have the only message that can save a person and it comes directly from the heart of God. Paul said it this way,
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)
The message you have to share is the only hope for the world. May God bless you, ambassador, as you represent Him to a lost and dying world.
