Who is this World in 2 Cor 5:19 ?
2 Cor 5:19
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Is this world everyone without exception ? By no means, in fact the verse tells us who are comprised of this World.
Its everyone that has been reconciled to God, that God has reconciled to Himself ! Now does that apply to every human being without exception ? No it does not !
Secondly, its everyone that has not and God will not impute their sins unto them !
In other words, its a world of blessed men and women who David calls blessed here Ps 32:1-2
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
And Paul quotes the same in Rom 4:7-8
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Its a world full of men and women whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered !
Its a world full of folk that God will not impute sin, lay it to their charge ! And please note it says He will not do it, ever, not now, not in the future !
John Gill comments on Rom 4:8
That's who the World is in 2 Cor 5:19, those who are #1 Reconciled to God, #2 Have no sins charged to them !
Is that all without exception ? Jesus shall say to many who evidently have iniquity laid to their charge this Matt 7:23
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Now how could they possibly be of those which it is said Ps 32:1-2
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. See Rom 4:7-8
which are those in 2 Cor 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 11
