2 Corinthians 5:19

Jesus
ForgivenessConflict and reconciliationJesus ChristGod's love

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
