In Part 4 of the “Messengers” series, Pastor George Sawyer reiterates 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 to emphasize that believers are new creations, Christ’s ambassadors, and ministers of reconciliation because God no longer counts sins against people through Christ. He explains Jesus as the sinless, virgin-born, fully God and fully man offering for sin, tracing “sin offering” from Genesis and the separation caused by Adam and Eve’s disobedience to Israel’s Day of Atonement, scapegoat, and yearly blood covering of sin. He contrasts that temporary covering with Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 10:12), stressing the debt was paid to God, not the devil, and that through Christ believers are made righteous, like they never sinned, urging them to live and share this message.
