Whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of Christ!

 Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

As followers of Christ, we are His representatives, which is why we are urged to remember on what we do, we do it as His representatives, giving thanks to God through Jesus. Jesus became our middleperson, to bridge the gap that was created by sin, but we thank the Lord for mending things for us. In this case, let us thank and praise Him for all He has done for us. We are because of Jesus. I was reminded today that we are righteous, not because of our own doing, but because of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). Which is why, we must not keep ourselves in bondage of our sins, Jesus cleared the slate for us, hence, when God looks at us, He sees us as righteous as Jesus is. Through His sacrifice and what He went through at the cross for, has made us righteous. For us, is to keep ourselves in a condition that is acceptable to God. Following His commands and continuing being the representative of Christ here on earth. Where we do wrong, we repent, ask for forgiveness. 

May we find the gift of freedom, embrace it and live life the way God designed it for us. Not condemning ourselves and others, but having a forgiving heart, giving ourselves and others grace where needed. That pleases God. Also, remembering Galatians 6:9 that we must not get tired of doing good. Be the light in the world (Matthew 5:14) and continue being a blessing to others (Genesis 12).
