Message Two

The Ministry of Reconciliation

THE EXTRACT OF THE OUTLINES

Scripture reading:

Rom. 5:10 For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled,

I. It is beneficial for us to have a basic understanding of reconciliation—Rom. 5:10; Col. 1:20; 2 Cor. 5:18-20: (Monday)

A. The means of reconciliation is Christ; the procedure of reconciliation is the cross; the sphere of reconciliation is in one body—Col. 1:20; Eph. 2:16.

B. The fact of reconciliation is our standing before God based on judicial redemption and justification by faith—Rom. 5:10.

II. The ministers of the new covenant act as ambassadors on behalf of Christ to carry out the ministry of reconciliation—2 Cor. 5:18-20; 6:1:

A. The ministry of reconciliation not only brings sinners back to God but also brings believers absolutely into God and makes them absolutely one with Him—2 Cor. 5:18-20.

B. Complete reconciliation of man to God requires two steps: the first step is for sinners to be reconciled to God from sin; the second step is for believers living in the natural life to be reconciled to God from the flesh—2 Cor. 5:19-21; Rom. 8:3.

C. Only when we are fully reconciled to God are we fully saved—Rom. 5:10; Heb. 7:25. (Tuesday)

———————————————————————

III. The ministry of reconciliation brings us back to God to such an extent that we can become the righteousness of God in Christ—2 Cor. 5:21: (Wednesday, Thursday)

A. We are not only justified by God—we actually become the righteousness of God—2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 2:16.

B. We are made the righteousness of God in our organic union with Christ; to become the righteousness of God in Christ is to be right with God in our being—2 Cor. 5:21.

———————————————————————

IV. These two steps of reconciliation are clearly portrayed by the two veils of the tabernacle; both veils signify the unique Christ, who died for our sins and even more died for us—Exod. 26:31-37; Heb. 9:3. (Friday)

———————————————————————

V. Being fully reconciled to God will enlarge our heart; the extent to which our heart is enlarged depends on the degree to which we are reconciled to God—2 Cor. 6:11-13. (Saturday)

VI. The results of reconciliation are as follows—Rom. 5:1-2, 10-11:

A. The result of our being reconciled to God is first that we have peace toward God—Rom. 5:1.

B. The result of our being reconciled to God is also that we can boast in God—Rom. 5:11.

C. The result of our being reconciled to God is also that we are saved in His life—Rom. 5:10.

VII. Through the ministry of reconciliation, we are incorporated into the processed and consummated Triune God to become the enlarged, universal, divine-human incorporation in Christ; as a result, we become God’s sanctuary, His habitation, His Holy of Holies—the New Jerusalem—John 14:20, 23; Rev. 21:2, 10, 16.
