Reconciled to God while enemies !

Reconciled while enemies is about the GENTILES.

Paul is explaining that Jesus did not just die for the Jews, the Jews who performed the commanded various laws and regulations. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, even for the sins of the enemies of God. The Gentiles were the enemies.

Colossians 1:21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.

Reconciled while enemies is about the GENTILES not having to become a Jew first and get CIRCUMCISED.

Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,


The GENTILES WERE ENEMIES BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CIRCUMCISED IN THE FLESH. They did not obey those commands from God.

Jesus still saved them WHILE THEY WERE UNCIRCUMCISED ENEMIES.

God does not save UNBELIEVERS.
You quoted my post, did you read and understand the points made with scripture?

Received into His Favor !

Those sinners Christ died for, by His Death alone having been applied to their account, even while being enemies/unbelievers [by nature Eph 2:2-3], nevertheless they have been received into His Divine Favor, having been reconciled by His Sons Death for them Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Paul writing to believers states that when they were unbelievers/enemies they were [had been] reconciled to God, not by believing, but by the Death of Gods Son. Now that word reconciled is the greek word katallassó and one of its meanings is:

to return into favor with, be reconciled to, , to receive one into his favor.

This is what Christ's Death for them alone accomplished, it put those Christ, the Son of God, died for, it put them into Gods Favor, the Psalmist wrote Ps 30:5

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Now how can sinners in a state of being unbelievers/enemies still be reconciled to God, and received into His Divine Favor ? Its because of what Christ's Death done before Gods Law and Justice !

These are Particular Sinners who were Reconciled to God while being enemies and unbelievers: Chosen of the Father, in Union with Christ His Son, their Surety / Mediator, before the foundation of the world, to be God's Adopted Children, and Beneficiaries of an Eternal Inheritance with His Son Rom. 8:17.


Christ Jesus, as Covenant Head and Surety, died the Death of a Testator in the Everlasting Covenant of Grace 2 Tim. 1:9 for God's Sheep.


Heb. 9:16-17
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.


They were received into God's Favor because of Christ's Death alone for them, and God's wrath was Propitiated on their behalf 1 John 4:10.



Is. 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.


Heb. 13:20-21
20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Received into His favor 2

When sinners are reconciled to God while they are enemies by Christ death Rom 5:10, they have been received into Gods divine favor. Now this can only be possible if their sins have already been put away and they're remembered no more Heb 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

This is also them whom God will not charge or impute sin 2 Cor 5:19 and Rom 4:8

So them that have been reconciled to God while they are enemies and unbelievers have no sin charged against them , or they could not have been reconciled into Gods divine favor.

It presents us , those he died for, holy, and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight.

That is the True result of being reconciled to God by Christ death while being enemies Rom 5:10, Col 1:21-22
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

This result comes through His Death, not by Faith, for vs 22a makes that clear.

Being reconciled by Christ death while being enemies Rom 5:10 coincides with being made righteous with Christ death while being enemies Rom 5:19! We can be reconciled to a Holy only if He views and accepts, reckons us righteous!

And since the sacred testimony is that believers had been reconciled to God by Christ death while being enemies, it's also true that they were declared righteous before God by Christ death while they were being enemies!

Those who are reconciled to God while they are being enemies
Per Rom5:10, are also Justified before God at the same while being enemies, because Gods Justice
Shall not charge them with sin, hence Justified from all their sins while unbelieving enemies.

The scripture is great but your commentary is terrible

So True. The ones who were reconciled to God while being enemies, it equates to them being Justified, declared not guility, according to God's Law and Justice solely by Christ's Blood / Death on their behalf Rom. 5:9. So they were never under God's wrath because their sins were imputed to Christ their Surety Heb. 7:22; Is. 53:6; Rom. 5:19, and His Righteousness imputed to them Rom. 4:7-8.

Exactly, even though those Christ died for are born just as sinful as others,
Yet they are not under Gods Wrath as others, Gods Wrath for them has been
appeased by Christ death/Blood.

Right, even though in themselves, they were unworthy sinners even as all the others, yet because of their Election in Christ they were given God's Purpose and Grace before the world began to have forgiveness of sins Eph 1:7 because Christ was made sin for them 2 Cor. 5:21, shed His Blood for them, Justifying all God's Elect from Everlasting Heb. 7:22; Rev. 13:8; Rom. 5:8; Rom. 8:33-34.

Exactly, from everlasting were Gods Elect Justified, declared Righteous before God, but not before their own conscience, because God never charged them with their sins and condemnation, it was already predetermined that Christ would be charged for them, so He was the Lamb slain from the foundation in Gods Purpose Rev 13:8; 1 Pet 1:20
