Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.

And not only that, but he was also appointed by the churches to accompany us with this gift that is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

Look at what is obvious. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we.

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
