Reconciled to God—',

Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit

"Reconciled to God—by the death of his Son." Romans 5:10

By nature our hearts were enmity against God; and we were enemies to Him by our wicked works!

Whatever He required—we avoided doing! 

Whatever He prohibited—we practiced!

Nothing could be more opposite to God—than we were before called by His grace! And yet, while we were altogether sinners, Christ died for us!

In dying for us, as in our stead—He did all that was requisite to reconcile us to God. All our sins are forgiven for His sake. We are accepted by God—solely on the ground of what He did and suffered. We are treated as if we had done what Jesus did—because He did it for us, and it is imputed to us when we savingly believed.
We are now reconciled to God.
We are now His friends. 
He is now our loving Father. 
He has accepted what Jesus did for us. 
He now delights in us. 
He now rejoices over us. 
He is now  preparing us to dwell with Him forever!
