Points to note:
- "A diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative..."
We have the highest rank (Sons and daughters of the Most High). We are appointed (We are saved and called by God. Sent out into all the world. Given authority and weapons to cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of our God. And we are accredited (by the blood of Jesus). - "An authorized messenger or representative. "
We are authorised by Christ to preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out devils, and basically see Gods will done on earth. We are official representatives. We should live the gospel. Reflect Christ. Glorify Him. Point all man to the Cross. - "ambassadors of goodwill". This one goes without saying.
Point to live: 2 Corinthians 5:20
"We 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."
No matter where. No matter when. We are all full time ministers. We have received the ministry of reconciliation. Saved by God and called by God.
