The Kingdom of God: Ambassadors for the King Part 1

What do you think of when you hear… Barney Lady Gaga Hitler Starbucks Frances Cordova Buddha Indiana Purdue Chi Alpha

Romans 10:13-15 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Chi = X = christos Alpha = A = apostoli (ambassadors) The Chi Alpha Name Chi = X = christos Alpha = A = apostoli (ambassadors)

Revelation 3:1-2 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

Webster’s Dictionary Ambassador: the highest-ranking representative appointed by one country or government to represent it in another.

Earthly Kingdom Kingdom of God Personally appointed Highest ranking diplomat Represent king to another nation Diplomatic immunity Given control of embassy Keep king well informed Protect & defend fellow countrymen Maintain the amicable relations Not on vacation but a mission! Can't take "time out" Not citizens of that country Christ chose us (Jn 15:16) Christ delegates His authority to us Represent Christ to all nations Not subject to law of sin & death! Delegated authority for mission Communicate with Christ Look out for brothers & sisters! Love the lost "We are Christ's ambassadors" Always representing Christ! Citizenship in heaven! (Phil. 3:20)

Ambassador Characteristics Property of the king We are God's possession (Eph 1:13)

Ephesians1:13-14 Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. 

Ambassador Characteristics Property of the king All needs taken care of by king Do/say only what King says/does We are God's possession (Eph 1:13) God supplies all our needs (Ph. 4:19) We extend His Kingdom on earth (Mt. 6:10)

Lord’s Prayer = Ambassador Prayer! Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be Your name,  10 Your kingdom come,  Your will be done     on earth as it is in heaven.  11 Give us today our daily bread.  12 Forgive us our debts,     as we also have forgiven our debtors.  13 And lead us not into temptation,  but deliver us from the evil one, for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

1 Corinthians 9:16 Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
