Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
18All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
— 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
