[10] Service Of Reconciliation

Here we observe what Saint Paul said:

(2 Cor 5:18-20) Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, {19} that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

{20} Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

[11] Reconciliation Includes Calling on People To Believe And Repent

The call to repentance is an involved topic, which encompasses preaching, confession, guidance and correct spiritual leadership.
