1) Attitude (What is Jesus attitude?)
-Reconciliation (reconciling people to God)
2Cor 5:17-18, v20
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
20We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
- our primary ministry is ministry of reconciliation=) reconciling people to God.
- Love
Col 3:12-14
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
- Whatever you do, you got to put on love=) doing it with love.
Matt 5:44
44But I tell you: Love your enemies[a] and pray for those who persecute you,
- Acceptance
- Accepting people of who they are, but not approving of what they do.
- Accepting people is not equals to approval=)
Matt 5:46-48
46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
