We are all ministers of the gospel of reconciliation. Each of us is responsible to do the work of the ministry. So, as we serve as His ministers, it is important that we demonstrate the love and character of Christ as we serve Him. This serves as proof of our relationship with the Lord. It is validation of our calling to the ministry of reconciliation. Our text today focuses on four ways that we are able to validate our call to ministry. We validate our call to ministry by removing barriers to the Gospel, by suffering for the Gospel, through spiritual growth and maturity, and by responding to situations in life with contentment.
