In this compelling sermon from 2 Corinthians 5:18–21, Collins unpacks one of the clearest summaries of the gospel in all of Scripture. The message titled “War and Peace” draws a sharp line between two eternal realities: living at peace with God or living in opposition to Him.
📖 Key Themes:
The Marvel of Reconciliation – God, the offended party, took the first step to restore relationship with sinners.
The Manner of Reconciliation – Reconciliation is only possible through the cross of Christ, where sin was dealt with fully and justly.
The Messengers of Reconciliation – Every Christian is called to be an ambassador for Christ, pleading with the world: “Be reconciled to God.”
The Meaning of the Cross – At the cross, Christ bore the full weight of our sin, so we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
🕊️ Collins reminds us that there is no third option—you are either at war with God or at peace with Him. The good news? God has already made the first move. The question now is: Will you accept His terms of peace?
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21
