The Ministry of Reconciliation
|
I Corinthians 12 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.  16 ¶ Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
John 14 18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 25 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you. 26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 ¶ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. Willing to

The believer did not always
live
to Christ. He
began to do so
when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was
brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt.
From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins
to live
to Christ. for whom we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our heart's first love, that it beats alone for Him; to His glory we would live, and in defence of His gospel we would die; He is the pattern of our life, and the model after which we would sculpture our character. Paul's words mean more than most men think; they imply that the aim and end of his life was Christ-nay, his life itself was Jesus. In the words of an ancient saint, he did eat, and drink, and sleep eternal life. Jesus was his very breath, the soul of his soul, the heart of his heart, the life of his life. Can you say, as a professing Christian, that you live up to this idea? Can you honestly say that for you to live is Christ? Your business-are you doing it for Christ? Is it not done for self-aggrandizement and for family advantage? Do you ask, "Is that a mean reason?" For the Christian it is. He professes to live for Christ; how can he live for another object without committing a spiritual adultery? Many there are who carry out this principle in some measure; but who is there that dare say that he hath lived wholly for Christ as the apostle did? Yet, this alone is the true life of a Christian-its source, its sustenance, its fashion, its end, all gathered up in one word-Christ Jesus. Lord, accept me; I here present myself, praying to live only in Thee and to Thee. |
| I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God. Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God |

Why Should I Reconcile?
|
Promise
Keepers has identified Eight
Biblical Principles that, when applied,
help you grow and succeed in
your reconciliation efforts.
Principle One: CALL
| We are all called to be
involved in the ministry of reconciliation, but some with a special
call to minister in diverse situations. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Matthew
22:37-40)
Key Word: Mandatory We are all called to be ambassadors for Christ, with some a particular calling as reconcilers. We are all called to be involved in the ministry of reconciliation, but some are gifted with a special call to be reconcilers. "Therefore if any man is in Christ he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." II Corinthians 5:17-21 Mandatory Implications for your church: Reconciliation will affect every relationship in the church. To have right relationships in your church, you must be reconciled to your pastor, to your church leadership, and to every person in the congregation.
Key questions:
|
| Reconciliation is built upon
the foundation of committed relationships.
Key Words: Conflict Resolution The ministry of reconciliation is based on a foundation of committed relationships that will persevere, ensuring that conflicts are resolved. This results in the maintenance of a reconciled relationship. (Ruth 1:16-17)
"But Ruth said, 'Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God.'" Ruth 1:16 Key Issues Regarding
Relationship: The men in your church need to demonstrate the love of God in their relationships with one another, which will impact the congregation and potentially overflow to the community. Key questions:
|
| Intentionality is the
purposeful, positive and planned activity that facilitates
reconciliation.
Key Word: Purposeful Purposeful activity destroying all walls of hostility and facilitating a positive relationship. (Ephesians 2:14-15) Intentionally is the purposeful, positive and planned activity that facilitates reconciliation. "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace." Ephesians 2:14-15 Key Issue regarding
Intentionality: Implications for your church: Your men's ministry should take an
active role in implementing activities that will facilitate
reconciliation, both in the church and the community. Key questions:
|
|
Sincerity is the willingness to be vulnerable including self-disclosure of feelings, attitudes, differences and perceptions, with the goal of resolution and building trust. Key Words: Trust & Transparency A willingness to take risk through sincerity and transparency which is essential to establish and maintain a foundation of trust. (John 15:15) Sincerity is the willingness to be vulnerable, including the self-disclosure of feelings, attitudes, differences and perceptions, with the goals of resolution and trust. "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you." John 15:15 Key Issues Regarding Sincerity: Your church and men's core group need to help create a safe environment where men are willing to become vulnerable (see Male Context in the Local Church). Key questions:
|
| Sensitivity is the intentional
acquisition of knowledge in order to relate empathetically to any
diverse situation, person, place or organization.
KEY WORDS: KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING The principle of sensitivity recognizes that people are generally ignorant of the dynamics that cause walls of division in any situation. The question: "Help me understand?" is the key to unlocking the door of knowledge and understanding. (Ephesians 4:15-16) Sensitivity is the intentional acquisition of knowledge in order to relate empathetically to a person of a different race, culture, or denomination. "But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love." Ephesians 4:15-16 Key Issues Regarding
Sensitivity: Your core group should demonstrate to your men how to learn about other brothers in the community, to enhance your ability to relate with them. Key questions:
|
| Sacrifice is the willingness
to relinquish an established status or position to genuinely adopt a
lesser position in order to facilitate diverse relationships (Phil
2:3-4)
Key Word: Cost Humility demands that we place the interest of others above ourselves. This will occur as we count the cost. Sacrifice is the willingness to relinquish an established status of position to genuinely adopt a lesser position in order to facilitate a cross-cultural relationship. "Do nothing from selfishness or
empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one
another as more important than himself; do not merely look out of your
own personal interest, but also for the interests of others."
Philippians 2:3-4 Key Issue Regarding Sacrifice: Implications for your church: The men in your church need to take the initiative to serve their wives, children, and other brothers in the community (Matthew 20:25 - 28, Romans 14:10 - 13). Key questions:
|
| Empowerment is the use of
repentance and forgiveness to create complete freedom in diverse
relationships. (II Corinthians: 8:9)
Key Words: Repentance & Forgiveness When we take responsibility and a willingness to yield, we create an atmosphere of reconciliation. Empowerment is the use of repentance and forgiveness to create complete freedom in a cross-cultural relationship. "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich." II Corinthians 8:9 Key Issues Regarding
Empowerment: Interpersonal barriers will be removed and your men will become free to experience reconciled relationships, through the power of God's Spirit. Key questions:
|
| Interdependence recognizes
differences but realizes that each offer something that the other
needs, resulting in equality in the relationship. (II Corinthians
8:12-14)
Key Word: Equality God created diversity and desires unity in diversity. Interdependence recognizes our differences but realizes that we each offer something that the other person needs, resulting in equality in the relationship. "For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have. For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by the way of equality - at this present time your abundance being a supply for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want, that there may be equality." II Corinthians 8:12-14 Key Issue Regarding
Interdependence: Implications for your church: Key questions:
|
| Above_All |
| Attributes |
| Developing_the_Mind_of_Christ.html |
| Along with the differences between us come many valuable attributes that the other person brings to the relationship. These attributes can lead to interdependence, which will demonstrate the transforming Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Action steps: Explore your cultural differences in church, and through interpersonal relationships. Look for the ways that your cultures are unique and complimentary. |
PURSUING RECONCILIATION |
||
|
Promise Keepers believes that
we have
a God-given mission to unite men who are separated by race, geography,
culture, denomination and economics. Reconciliation is much more than races coming together. It is realizing that for us to have ANY MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP, we must begin at the cross of Jesus Christ, trusting in Him alone for salvation. Because God has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, we can now be reconciled to each other, not counting our offenses against one another. The SCOPE of reconciliation includes, but is not limited to, an unbeliever to God, man to himself, husband and wife to one another, parent and child to one another, people to people and church to church. The implications of pursuing reconciliation are profound. This means a man must ask, "How do I reconcile my life to what God's Word says should be true of it?" It begins by having a right relationship with God Himself through trusting in Christ alone for salvation, and confessing & repenting of personal sin to be reconciled with God daily (II Corinthians 5:17 - 21, 7:9 & 10, I John 1:8 - 10). It means a man must have a right relationship with himself, his wife, and his children, in order to please God (Matthew 22:36 - 40, Colossians 3:19 - 21, I Peter 3:7 - 12). Ultimately, reconciliation means that a man must be in right relationship with all people at all time, beginning with God and then to those around him - family, co-workers, neighbors, men of other races, cultures & denominations, etc. (Matthew 18:21 - 35, Mark 12:28 - 34, Ephesians 2:14 - 18). |

| I Corinthians 12 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 ¶ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. |
