GOD'S MIRROR is a sermon based on
2 Corinthians 5:20. If we reduce the human job description down to one phrase, this is it:
20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

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.
LET YOUR BODY REFLECT GOD'S GLORY
- Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
LET YOUR STRUGGLES HONOR GOD
- 2 Corinthians 4:15 and John 11:4
15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
