And how do you serve as an ambassador of Christ? It's a big question and the answer could go on for days but interested in a few examples. General examples are fine. Maybe your answer will help others.
I will speak for me personally, I’ll keep it short because this would be a much better, more fulfilling conversation but I’ll do my best to text it out
Maybe its easier if I text a couple of recent examples
The other day I was driving down 8th st south of downtown, Ive seen this guys who walks that area often, I felt a leading in my spirit/gut/soul to stop and speak with him so I did. I pulled over, he came up to my truck thinking I was going to hand him a few dollars. Instead I said, I was praying while I was diving by (I was) and I believe that God wants you to know you're not alone, He sees you, right now, and He knows your pain, your struggles.
I said, I have no idea what youre going through bro but God does and He wants to help you and to speak with you about it personally, would you like to do that?
YES! dude lit up like Christmas tree, he bowed his head and firmly grabbed my hand in one fell swoop, I let the Holy Spirit lead me as I prayed for him and quite literally God touched this mans heart and mine instantly, I can only say it was supernatural, He felt Gods love though my hands, my voice, as I partnered with God by being obedient to His voice to stop and speak, God touched this mans heart, and mine.
After we prayed, he was elated and he asked me what religion am I. I replied Im a believer in Christ, not a religious person, Jesus actually despised the religious folks because they were only clean on the outside by appearance but inside they were filthy, just like many churches today, they praise Him with their mouths but their hearts are from from Him
I told hi how m how I was homeless more than a couple of times and Jesus showed me the same love He just showed you while I was in my darkest hours, it wasn’t a church service where I met Jesus it was on my knees, just me and Him.
That being said, I dont attend a church regularly but I spend everyday with God, I acknowledge His presence in my life daily in every situation so fundamentally that is precisely how I would describe me being an ambassador for Christ looks like, I recognize and acknowledge Jesus is with me so I ask Him things like do you want me to pray for that man or that woman? or what not...
anyway, I asked the guy if he would like a free shirt, he said yes I gave him a "Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords” “the other was “Psalms 91” I asked if he’d like coffee and he said yes ... so we did that too
Taking the time of day to make a person feel seen and feel heard is life changing because when you feel all alone in this world, its a scary and unfriendly place, I know first hand like many others just like me
Other times in other settings I may share the amazing physical healings I have experienced in my own body with people. God heal me of a TBI and brain bleed and two months later a pulmonary embolism. I was so weak and frail i needed help to just stand up, I was covered in bruises from falling and had spent over a month combined in ICU and another 4 weeks combined in the regular hospital room
I share that God is not looking for perfection in us like religion teaches us, God is looking for people who want His love and forgiveness in exchange for their pride and unbelief, he doesn’t need or want anything from us, except our faith in Christ. He’s good to us because He’s a good Father not because we deserve it, or have earned it
being a believer truly just means you’ve realized you need God, you want Him because you’ll never measure up to His standard and you see yourself for who you are not who you think or compare yourself to.
We are all born sinners, thats why we sin. We aren’t sinners because we sin, read that twice and let it sink in
Christ at the cross traded HIs righteousness for our unrighteousness and that is the essence of our identity in Christ that makes us ambassadors for Him
sorry for the novel haha I could keep on going but I think Ill stop here or it wont even be read
