Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us." 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (ESV) Our God has called us all to be His ambassadors in this world. Our words and actions should all be measured and chosen insofar as they reflect the love of Jesus to each other and to those who don't know Him yet. It is also important for us to present an accurate reflection of who He is and how He relates to us as the objects of His love.
