Reconciliation with the God of peace - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Be reconciled to God.
Romans 5:10; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

Reconciliation with the God of peace
Two friends are arguing. Their previously good relationship is becoming tense, on the point of breaking up. They stop speaking to each other: communication has become too difficult. Gradually these friends become strangers to one another. Such an outcome can be avoided solely by reconciliation. Then friendship and harmony are re-established.

Does God need to be reconciled to us, or is it we ourselves who need to be reconciled to Him? We, after all, caused the enmity (see today's verse).

Our relationship with God was indeed destroyed through the evil that we do, each one being lured by lying, pride, egotism etc.

Yet God took the initiative for reconciliation with His creatures, even His enemies. Jesus Christ was sent by God to be laden with all our sins. He has "made peace through the blood of his cross" (Colossians 1:20), so that we might have peace with God, founded at such a cost for all who believe and for ever.

Reconciliation is a wonderful truth. When we become Christians everything changes in our relationship with God. We were His enemies, we have become His friends. We were under condemnation because of our sins, now we have been forgiven. We were at war with God, now we have a peace .
