2 Corinthians 5:19-21

19For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

20So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

21For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
