Get on the Right Side of God

Have you noticed that people in our nation are often at odds with one another? “What an understatement,” you may say. And, you’re right. Rioting in the name of peaceful protests. Name-calling and accusations. One faction looks at the other as an enemy. 

In light of that, did you know Romans 5:10 says we were once enemies of God? Gulp. Not a good position! But how did we get into such a predicament, you may be wondering? Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and reject His ways (Genesis 3). This became known as “the fall.” Since then, every part of our world and our being has been affected by sin’s consequences. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.”

How, then, did we get on the right side of God so we’re not His enemy? Romans 5:10 answers that question. “We were reconciled to God through the death of His Son.” It continues, “…we shall be saved by His life.” Romans 3:24 also says, “[we are] justified as a gift by His [God’s] grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” 

No one wants to be on the wrong side of an issue. No one wants to be on the wrong side of God. We have Jesus to thank for reconciling us to our glorious Heavenly Father.

Jesus, mighty RECONCILER, thank You for reconciling me to God through Your death on the cross. I rejoice and praise You!
