If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation

2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Since we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men.
If we are out of our mind, it is or the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. God Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raise again.
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.
Be reconciled to God.
Why?
All Paul did seems out of mind is for the sake of God, if did in right mind is for the sake for you. Paul devote his life not for his own benefit.
The power and motivation are come from Christ's love. Learned and intimated from the love of Jesus Christ.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; It is familiar to every Christian, but meditate it more, we will find we still have many old me in it. How weak I am.
For us, first, be reconciled to God, then be a ministry of reconciliation to men. God who reconciled us to him through. It is the Lord loves us first.
To be an ambassador of Christ, should show us like Christ and has the behavior of Jesus, let people know what is the truth life in Christ, attracting people come to Jesus.
How?
Dear Lord please forgive me, I have many old me and unclean mind in me, please help me get rid of it, let me be a new creation.
Don't forget I am ambassador of  Christ to do the ministry of reconciliation. The motivation is for the Love from God.
