Reconciliation

II Corinthians 5: 14-17

Summary: When God died in the cross for all of our sins, we were dead with him. Therefore, we shouldn’t live for ourselves because ourselves died in the cross, but rather, we should live for him, who died in the cross and raised again. We should not love the world but rather love him. Whoever claims that he died in the cross for them will live in the new creation/world because he/she is no longer alive in the old world.

Highlights of passage: One died for all, hence, all died. This passage brings out an interesting point. I always admit that God died in the cross for me. I never view it as me dyeing and got a second chance. I died in the cross with him, along with my sins, and become the new person. I am the new creation, this is my new world, i am a new person. Hence, i should not view the world that i live in right now as a world that it was, but rather this is a new world. My eternality life starts the day that i accepted the fact that my sins were dead with god.

Lesson learn: Through this passage, i realized that i was a new person. The holy spirit just renew my faith, open my eyes to the real world that i’m living in. I’m no longer living here for myself but rather for God. I learned that i can’t be the same as i was before I accepted god in my life, as a person can’t be the same before and after she died. This is my new world, the world that creates by god. Through this passage, God tells me to live a new life. I’m his new creation, the person that he creates me, the way that he wants me, someone is so perfect in his eyes because he created me with cares and loves.
