The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - Reconciliation Between God & Man

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.

00:00:03.340 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,

00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?

00:00:09.720 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do

00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.

00:00:17.540 Thanks.

00:00:19.700 Jesus said,

00:00:20.800 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

00:00:25.460 You're listening to Daily Truth.

00:00:30.000 In verse 10 of our text, we see these words,

00:00:35.380 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,

00:00:40.600 much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

00:00:45.980 Using similar language, as in verse 9, the apostle,

00:00:49.900 he now argues from reconciliation by the death of Christ

00:00:53.500 to salvation by the life of Christ.

00:00:57.500 Whoever is reconciled to God by the death of Jesus

00:01:00.800 shall be saved by the life of Jesus.

00:01:03.800 This is yet another clear expression of the wonderful love of God,

00:01:07.460 since this reconciliation arises purely from himself.

00:01:11.400 For all who have faith in Christ,

00:01:13.260 they have been reconciled to the triune God,

00:01:17.120 reconciled to God as sovereign Father

00:01:20.400 in all his decrees and providences,

00:01:23.420 reconciled to God as victorious Savior

00:01:28.100 so as to joyfully submit to the kindly rule of His kingdom

00:01:32.560 and reconciled to God the Holy Spirit

00:01:35.360 so as to be led by Him in total dependence

00:01:38.580 for the continuing and finishing of the good work which He began in us.

00:01:43.100 We have been reconciled by Christ's death

00:01:45.760 and we are continually saved by Christ's life.

00:01:50.380 Here the apostle does not merely speak

00:01:52.360 of Christ's sinless life on earth

00:01:54.800 but of the interceding life of Christ in heaven

00:01:58.180 where he now ever lives

00:02:00.900 to make intercession for his people

00:02:03.040 to ensure that all the promises

00:02:05.480 which he obtained by his death

00:02:07.620 are thoroughly applied unto all who believe.

00:02:14.340 Again, for those who have been saved

00:02:16.180 by grace through faith in Jesus Christ,

00:02:18.280 we have been reconciled to God.

00:02:21.140 We've been reconciled to God by the cross.

00:02:24.520 We've been reconciled to God by Jesus' death,

00:02:28.520 by the shedding of his blood,

00:02:30.440 by his substitutionary death in our place,

00:02:33.740 taking upon himself the judgment,

00:02:36.640 the punishment that was rightly due to us.

00:02:39.460 All of this has reconciled us to the triune God,

00:02:43.420 to God as our covenant father,

00:02:45.460 to Christ as our elder brother and victorious Lord and Savior to the Holy Spirit the one who

00:02:53.580 guides us and equips us and convicts us of sin we've been reconciled to the triune God

00:03:01.760 by the death of Jesus thanks so much for listening but real quick before you go do us a small favor

00:03:07.980 take a moment and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show this is undoubtedly the best

00:03:14.300 way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.

00:03:19.580 Thanks so much.
