Popular Bible Verses from 2 Corinthians 5

If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone! The new is here!

He never sinned, but God made him become sin for us, so that in him we could be made right with God.

We recognize this because we’re guided by faith, not by what we can see.

All this is from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ and gave us the task of bringing others back to him. God wants us to let them know that God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ and not holding people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with this message about how people can be brought back to him.

So we are Christ’s official messengers. It’s as if God were making his appeal through us. So we beg you, on Christ’s behalf: Come back to God!

Christ died for everyone so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we don’t look at anyone from the world’s point of view. Once we even looked at Christ that way, but we don’t anymore.

Christ’s love doesn’t give us any other choice. We’re convinced that one person died for everyone, and so everyone died.
