All this is from God. He brought us back to himself through Christ’s death on the cross. And he has given us the task of bringing others back to him through Christ.God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them.

Here is what Christ wants us to beg you to do. Come back to God!
