Ambassadors For Christ

Are you a Ambassador -

a co-worker - 

a laborer for Christ? 

(Corinthians 3:9 (NIV)

"For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building."

( Matthew 9:37 )

Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers (laborers) are few.”

(Mark 16:15 )  

He (Jesus) said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." 

Did you know that going to church, coming together with those of like faith in a church building is to encourage us to "go into all the world and preach the gospel"?  

Notice - action word - "go"

Our meetings/gathering are for teaching, instruction, motivation, worshiping Christ, etc.

(1 Corinthians 14:26)

"What then shall we say, brothers and sisters" When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done that the church may be built up."

(Hebrews 10:24)

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,...."

 

Then........we are to go outside of the 4 walls.

Generally speaking, an ambassador is a respected official acting as a representative of a nation. Christians are God’s ambassadors in that they have been “approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel” (1 Thessalonians 2:4).

As we go through this world, we represent another Kingdom (John 18:36), and it is our responsibility to reflect the “official position” of Heaven.  

God’s ambassadors are to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and take the message of our King to the “ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Christians are to be laborers, engaged in the Lord's vineyard. (Matthew 20: 1-16) 

We are the hands and hearts needed to accomplish God’s plan for His Kingdom!

Now that you know....... failing to do what we know is called that the sin of omission. Jesus said, "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." (James 4:17).
