Reconciled to God while enemies !

The Mystery of Reconciliation !2

Another thing about reconciliation that is an Mystery to the natural man and foolishness, is this, those reconciled to God while being enemies Rom 5:10 , dont have their sins imputed to them as other people do . Check this out 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.

See , reconciliation means that the reconciled do not have their sins imputed or charged to them, a whole world of people, jews and gentiles. All the sins the reconciled commit, from birth to the grave, can never be imputed to them. Its not even possible for those reconciled to God to ever die in their sins !

The Mystery of Reconciliation !3

Another Mystery of Reconciliation, even while the reconciled are being enemies Rom 5:10, and not having their sins charged to them 2 Cor 5:19, is the fact that they are counted righteous ! Yes, God hath imputed righteousness to them without works !

This is seen by scripture comparison. The reconciled dont have their sins imputed to them 2 Cor 5:19 and as such they are forgiven 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.

Pay attention to holy writ here. Transgression are forgiven, their sins are covered, when the Lord imputeth not iniquity Ps 32:2;2 Cor 5:19

Now pay close attention when Paul quotes David here in Rom 4, here goes Rom 4:6-8


6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,


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.

,See that ? Even though Rom 4:6 isnt in the Ps 32 quote, nevertheless the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write it here in Romans, when Paul goes back to David to quote Ps 32:1-2, showing therefore, that them blessed ones who dont have sin imputed to them, are forgiven as well as have Righteousness imputed them without works, without them doing anything, without any action from them whatsoever !

So the reconciled are righteous !

So, technically speaking, the world of 2 Cor 5:19 is a Righteous world ! 15

Now in order for those Christ died for to be reconciled to God BY HIS DEATH, while they are yet enemies Rom 5:10, there must have been an application of the cleansing blood to their account, while they were still in unbelief, because without the taking away of sin by the blood/death of Christ, there's no reconciliation !

Remember, Jesus passed up into the heavens after He died and ascended as the High Priest of His People Heb 4:14

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

And as High Priest He performs the sprinkling of the blood, that is, He applies it to account of those sinners He died for. Isaiah writing of Christ as High Priest Isa 52:13-15

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

Heb 12:24

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

1 Pet 1:2

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Now those He died for, He put away their sin before God Heb 9:26

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself [His death/blood].


So that's how those Christ died for are reconciled to God even as in themselves they are yet enemies/unbelievers !

The Mystery of Reconciliation ! 4

Another Mystery about biblical reconciliation by the death of Christ, which the natural mind cant understand, it is the fact, that those sinners Christ died for, and reconciled to God, even while they are being enemies, they have peace with God, God is at peace with them. Col 1:19-21

19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;


20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

God has been reconciled and peace restored to all sinners Christ shed His Blood for, even when they are enemies !

The Blood of His Cross accomplished this for them, not anything they did or will do !

And we know this isn't true of all mankind since many are under Gods Wrath Jn 3:36 ; Rom 1:18, which can only mean Christ's Blood was not shed for them ! 15

The AI Synthesis:

---

The Sovereign Reality of the Cross: Peace Prior to Faith

The standard religious system teaches a conditional gospel where the blood of Christ merely makes peace possible, waiting for the sinner to activate it. This carnal view completely reverses the divine order and robs the cross of its actual power.

When we submit to the strict apostolic logic of the Holy Spirit, we uncover a glorious mystery: God has been completely, legally reconciled, and peace has been permanently restored to every sinner Christ died for, long before they ever believe.

1. The Definitive Work: Peace is an Accomplished Fact

Look at the rigid, past-tense finality of the language used by the Apostle Paul:

“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself…” (Colossians 1:20)

The text does not say Christ hopes to make peace, or that He laid down a framework for peace that man must finalize. It uses the aorist participle (eirēnopoiēsas)—having made peace. The legal warfare between God and His elect Seed was officially, dynamically terminated at Calvary. The debt was canceled, the wrath was absorbed, and the covenant of peace was locked down by blood.

2. The Condition of the Beneficiaries: Reconciled While Enemies

The natural mind stumbles over the timeline of salvation. It assumes that a person must stop being an enemy before God can be at peace with them. But verse 21 completely explodes this human philosophy:

“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled” (Colossians 1:21)

Notice the profound dual reality:

• The Sinner's Experiential State: They are actively “alienated and enemies in their mind by wicked works.” They are born in sin, hostile to God, and dead in trespasses.
• The Sinner's Legal Reality: “Yet now hath he reconciled.”

While the elect child of God is still running blindly in his sins—acting as a functional enemy of heaven—God looks upon him through the lens of the finished transaction of the cross and sees a legally reconciled son. The Father is not angry with them; His justice has been fully satisfied on their behalf by the Substitute. The blood alone accomplished this, entirely independent of anything the sinner has done, is doing, or will ever do.

3. The Unavoidable Boundary: The Extent of the Atonement

This glorious truth forces a strict, logical limitation on the scope of Christ's death. If the blood of the cross actually made peace, then it is an absolute impossibility for anyone under that blood to ever experience the eternal wrath of God.
Yet, scripture is clear that a portion of mankind is under active, abiding condemnation:

• John 3:36: “...and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
• Romans 1:18: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men...”

The Airtight Equation of Particular Peace

1. Premise 1: The blood of Christ did not propose peace; it actually made peace with God for those it covered (Col 1:20).
2. Premise 2: Those for whom peace was made are fully reconciled to God, even while they are personally walking as enemies in their minds (Col 1:21).
3. Premise 3: Multitudes of men die under the unappeased, abiding wrath of God (John 3:36, Rom 1:18).
4. Conclusion: Therefore, Christ’s blood was never shed for those who perish. His atonement is strictly particular, perfectly efficacious, and eternally secure for His chosen Seed alone.

To argue otherwise is to blaspheme the cross by claiming that Christ shed His blood to make peace for people who wind up in hell under eternal warfare. But the scripture stands unyielding: He saw His Seed, He prolonged His days, and the pleasure of Jehovah is dynamically prospering in His hand! 15
