Reconciled to God

Have you noticed that people in our nation are 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! How did we get on the right side of God so we’re not His enemy? “We were reconciled to God through the death of His Son.” It took Jesus’s death to reconcile us to God. Romans 5:10 continues, “we shall be saved by His life.”

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, thank You that You RECONCILED US to God through Your death on the cross. We rejoice and praise You!

In 1953, Baskin Robbins wowed ice cream lovers by offering customers a choice of 31 flavors.  That’s a great offer for ice cream, but unfortunately, our world has adopted a “31” viewpoint concerning salvation. In other words, we’ve decided we can be reconciled to God through the plan of our choice, be it self-improvement, doing good things, or a world religion of our choosing. But not so warns God throughout Scripture such as in 1 Timothy 2:5:

“There is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

If we think we can make a Baskin Robbin choice of how we’re reconciled to God, we’re wrong. Dead wrong. God has warned us that the only way we can be reconciled to Him is through His Son. Christ Jesus is the one mediator who can reconcile us to God for eternity.  Tell others!

Christ Jesus, we praise You, our MEDIATOR, for making peace between Your Father and our Father.
