A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST

2 Corinthians 4:1—6:2

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Give God your thanks today for the new insights you are receiving as you read and study the Bible. 
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. In what way(s) do you feel yourself to be a “new creation” as a Christian? What does it mean to you that you are now “Christ’s ambassador”? 
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• In what ways do you think one becomes a “new creation” as a result of following Jesus? What was your own experience? 
• How can an ordinary person be an effective ambassador for Christ? Do you know one? If so, share. 
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Research the duties and privileges of an ambassador of your country, perhaps online. Then, decide how those may apply to you as one who is Christ’s ambassador. 
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Lord, You’re not finished with me yet, but I am a new creation and I want to be a good ambassador for You.
