Justified, Reconciled, and Joyful: Our New Identity in Christ

You have a new identity in Christ. Before salvation, we were enemies of God—hostile, hateful, at enmity with Him. But through the blood of Jesus, we are now justified, reconciled, and made righteous. That's the power of grace.

Here's the truth: you can't be friends with both God and the world. James 4:4 makes it clear—friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God. Your fruit reveals who you truly love. Are you marked by peace, joy, and the Spirit's fruit, or by quarrels, materialism, and self-centered living?

God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. We're called to get messy, be present, and share the hope of Christ with a lost world. This isn't done from a pew or behind a screen—it requires presence, sacrifice, and obedience to His Word. Where is your joy? Who are you boasting about? Are you truly ministering reconciliation?
