And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation. In scripture reconciliation is presented in two aspects. It is concerning the first aspect of this truth that we now deal.
Reconciliation is an accomplished fact.
It is God reconciling us to God by the death of Christ. Reconciliation is not that the hearts of sinners were changed toward God, but that the change was and is in the attitude of God toward men. God cannot be indifferent toward sinners.
