Summary
Paul teaches that Christians are new creations reconciled to God through Christ, entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation and called to live as ambassadors. Believers must embody their identity as God's representatives by stepping out in faith to share the gospel, experiencing the fullness of their calling through risk-taking obedience rather than passive knowledge alone.
Highlights
You are not saved by means of your personal discipline and religious sacrifice. You are saved by means of something that God himself did.
Trust is the imprint left on a soul by experience with God. You know things about God, but the reality is somehow knowing those things haven't led to trust of him.
There are some things about your identity that you will never be able to experience unless you step out of your normal, comfortable life and you go out on mission with Jesus.
