Have you ever considered that we are all ambassadors for God? That is those of us claiming to be Christians. Not only are we ambassadors but we are the children of God which means each one of us are royalty and children of the God of the universe.
When I consider this sometimes I'm ashamed as I don't feel that I represent Him very well but I want to do so much better than I do. I was very upset with myself during this past election for our President of the United States as it was a hard, mean battle between the political parties and between some of us Christians right here on this site.
Yes, I was ashamed of myself because I did loose it on a thread showing just how human I really am and how much I need God to continue to be the kind of ambassador that would represent my Father In Heaven the way I should.
Please post here your thoughts on being an ambassador for God and a child of God and how He helps you daily in your walk with Him. Bible verses are welcome as are your posts.
I have posted the definition below as well as some Bible verses.
2 Corinthians 5:19that 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. 20Therefore 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.
1John 3:1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
