As Christians we can glory and make boast in the LORD. This is not because we are good or better off than others but that God Almighty, through Jesus Christ, has chosen to rescue people who once were wretched because of sins; and transformed them into his own goodness and righteousness.
Truly, here is God, reconciling the world unto himself; not treating them as sinners but through Christ, making them new creatures. People who have been forgiven and given a new nature that overcomes sin and every resemblance of evil and wickedness.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away and all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Having reconciled us to himself, God now encourages, empowers and emboldenes us to go all out to bring back people around the world to himself. God sends us out as ambassadors of reconciliation, urging people to become reconciled unto him. We are ambassadors for Christ.
Jesus Christ, the means of reconciliation, died on the cross for everyone who ever lived and who is yet to be born. As a result of his death, Jesus paid the price for human sin. He who never sinned, died as the worst of sinners. He took my place and yours and died instead of me and you on the cross. His blood shed on the cross made peace between sinful mankind and our offended Creator; the Almighty God!
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
Therefore now, we urge you with great boldness, confidence and urgency: Be reconciled to God. Do so quickly. Do so consciously. Do so with your whole heart, appreciatively. Do so today, even now.
Here is the Good news. Having judged and punished sin in the substitutional sacrifice for sin (His only begotten Son Jesus Christ), God offers pardon to all of mankind. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but that through his Son the world might be saved. John 3:17.
Practically you can experience the salvation from God now. If you shall confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, you shall be saved. With your heart you believe and you are justified and with your mouth you confess and you are saved. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10: 9-13.
Call upon Jesus as you are. Call wherever you may be. God bless you.

The glory of God is declared all over the Universe. The heavens, the rivers, seas and oceans declare His glory. The mountains and hills, the fountains and water springs, the plants and the animals; all declare God’s glory. What can we say of the precious stones and other riches in the deep? Even mankind is not excluded. Whether willingly or reluctantly we all reveal the glory of God! The greatest manifestation of the glory of God are human beings! God Almighty gave to mankind ability to be productive. We have procreative ability to produce offsprings. We also have creative ability to make, manufacture or create things. Who and what can resist the wonderful manifestation of the glory of God? Nobody! Try to reexamine your own body, how complex it is! The human body is more complex and fascinating to examine than the so-called Wonders of the World! Little wonder the Psalmist stated:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
These specks of glory are like mere scratches on the surface. The Sun, Moon, Stars and the galaxies show more glory. God Almighty place them all in their positions and paths. As a result of the greater glory given to mankind, God enables us to explore the universe, yet we see only specks of it! Truly every Scientist; indeed every person should be humble enough in the quest for outer space exploration. These discoveries should not make us foolish enough to discredit or dishonour God who placed the wonderful features in their places for us to explore. Instead they should encourage and challenge us to adore and revere Him. He made these great features through Jesus Christ! The heavens truly declare the glory of God and the firmaments show his handiwork. [Psalms 19:1]
We are the peak of God’s hand work! He loves us and welcomes us to fellowship with Him!
