Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 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."
