Where did we get the name "Royal Ambassadors"? 2 Corinthians
5:17-20 describes the purpose of Royal Ambassadors. While the RA motto, "We
are Ambassadors for Christ", is
found in verse 20, the other verses sum up Paul's declaration of why we need
to be ambassadors for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17-20
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone,
the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against
them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 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.
