More on Romans 5:10 and Salvation !

Now understand this, Christ's Death does save in a way of Justification solely by His Death, the conversion experience of both faith and repentance of the ones saved by way of Justification before God is not needed, but only His Death Rom 5:18-19

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience [death] of one shall many be made righteous [or Just as in Justified.

Isa says the same thing here Isa 53:1

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

The He shall bear their iniquities is the same and equals to in Rom 5:19 " So by the Obedience of One " that Obedience consisted in bearing their iniquities at His Death. And by that Obedience alone they are Made Righteous or Justified. The word Justify in Isa 53:11 is the Hebrew word tsadaq :


to be just, be righteous

to have a just cause, be in the right

2) to be justified

3) to be just (of God)

4) to be just, be righteous (in conduct and character)

b) (Niphal) to be put or made right, be justified

c) (Piel) justify, make to appear righteous, make someone righteous

So Yes, Justification of Life here as Per Rom 5:18, and 19 being made Righteous equals to Salvation in that they are saved from, delivered from the penalty of all their sins and the condemnation thereof of God's Law ! This Justification of Life came solely upon Christ's One Act of Righteousness, as opposed to Adam's one act trespass that did merit condemnation. The Justification of Life by one [Christ's act] is just as real as the condemnation was for Adam's one act; Hence all for whom Christ died, have to their credit forever, Justification of Life, saved from the penalty of Sin which was against God's Law and Justice, and that forever, even while they are unbelievers and enemies, though they will become believers in their lifetime [The Just shall live by Faith] But until then, they are saved [by Justification of Life] !

Who is it that shall be saved ?

Who is it that shall be saved ?

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.



Who is it that shall be saved ? I like that word shall in scripture, for it denotes certainty, ,it will occur ! It means something is sure to happen by the promise and word of Him that cannot lie. Now here is a for sure promise to everyone Christ died for, and by His Death Reconciled them to God, even while they were being enemies/unbelievers, they all, everyone of them, Shall be Saved ! How ? By His Life !

So who is it that shall be saved [By His Life] ? All those whom were reconciled to God by Christ's Death while they were enemies and unbelievers, thats who !

 

[beloved57]

Whats the difference ?

Whats the difference ?

The difference between the enemies that God Loves through Christ as Per Rom 5:10 whom Christ died for, and His enemies whom He did not Love through Christ and for whom Christ did not die for is this: Now those enemies God does Love, when Christ died for them, by His Death they were reconciled to God [received into His Divine Favor] even while being enemies Rom 5:10

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

And the promise to those reconciled enemies is that they shall be saved by His Life [future indicative]

So clearly there is Hope of Salvation promised to all reconciled enemies/unbelievers by Christ's Death alone ! Whereas those enemies that Christ did not die for while being enemies, instead of being reconciled to God, the wrath of God is abiding on them Jn 3:36

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Not only is the wrath of God abiding on them [not reconciled] they have a promise of NOT SEEING LIFE ! Future indicative, they have no promise of being saved by His Life as those enemies have in Rom 5:10, the difference being, the Death of Christ. Christ's Death guarantee's all those enemies He died for shall be saved by His Life !

 

[beloved57]

Reconciliation inwardly also !

Reconciliation inwardly also !

Most of my teaching has been on the objective side of Reconciliation, that all for whom Christ died, even while they are enemies, nevertheless they have been objectively, legally reconciled to God, and that solely by His Death. Rom 5:10

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

Now there is another truth about the Reconciliation that the Work of Christ for His People provides and effectuates, and that is a Reconciliation in His People, through Christ. 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:

It cannot be denied here that Paul is acknowledgment to Christ's Death " In the body of his flesh through death" to be the cause why they were no longer " alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works",which they were by nature. If you recall in Rom 5:10 when just objectively Reconciled by Christ's Death, they were still enemies but here in this verse Paul's extends the Reconciliation by Christ's Death to save them out of that state of enmity.

This is so because the Reconciling Death is the meritorious cause or reason for them receiving New Life from the Spirit, and by this New Spiritual Life, they are Now Reconciled experientially, which is but the fulfillment of the promise in Rom 5:10 b They shall be saved by His Life ! The Saving by His Life there is experiential Reconciliation or Conversion ! In other words, those who are objectively reconciled by Christ's death while still being unconverted, the promise is that they shall be converted or saved by His Life !

For all this is in line with the Purpose of His Death, which was to bring those He died for back to God 1 Pet 3:18

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins[His Death], the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

The word bring is a strong word and it means:

to cause to come to or toward oneself; attract

Or we can say it means to reconcile us experientially to God.That was a main Purpose for Christ being put to death for those He died for, in order to convert them to God. If that does not happen for each one He died for, God's Purpose in His Death has failed ! So each Person He died for shall be Reconciled inwardly to God also !

 

[beloved57]

Those who are reconciled to God while they are yet enemies/unbelievers, by Christ's Death, The promise to them is that they SHALL be saved his life 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.

The Life here is His resurrected Life, whereas He after Resurrection, forever liveth to make Intercession for them, which results in their coming to God by Him. Heb 7:25

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth [His Life] to make intercession for them.

So, the promise for the reconciled in Rom 5:10 is a promise of the application of salvation to the reconciled. This means that conversion is owing to the ever living intercession of Christ, the one who died for them.

The requirement for Christ interceding for any, isn't that they be believers already, but that He died and rose again in their behalf Rom 8:33-34

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

So Christ's Intercession saves those He died for in that it ensures the Spiritual application of all of His saving merits,carried out by or executed by the Holy Spirit.

As a result the Holy Spirit saves them experimentally Titus 3:5

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

This saving here by the renewing of the Holy Ghost is ensured by the ever living intercession of Christ, to all for whom Christ died and reconciled to God, up to the end of the age,this is a guarantee as Long as Christ Liveth !

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.

All for whom Christ died, have been reconciled to God, by His death alone, not by their obedience, not by their faith, not by their repentance, but even while they were being enemies, unbelievers, children of wrath as others BY NATURE, now if this be the case, their being reconciled, they cannot be under condemnation and wrath as others Jn 3:18,36 even while being unbelievers !

You see, they cannot be both condemned and under wrath as enemies and reconciled to God as enemies at the same time !

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9

How can we be reconciled or forgiven without repentance?

Reconcile the reconciled !

Reconcile the reconciled !

All those whom Christ died for, by His Death alone, apart from any obedience of their own, and in fact while they were being enemies, they have been reconciled to God [received into His Favor], again solely by His Son's Death Rom 5:10

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

Now these reconciled enemies, unbelievers here in Vs 10 are the same ones of that World Paul states this of in 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

But now how does this square with what is written, the imperative in Vs 20 ?

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Here is the meaning, in Rom 5:10 and 2 Cor 5:19, those whom Christ died for are Reconciled to God objectively while still in the flesh[sin nature] and very much unconverted and at enmity with God, but now when the imperative is issued, a summons to Gospel Faith and Obedience, " Be ye reconciled to God" It is when they are in their New Nature, Born of God, and now it is time for them to have a special apprehension of that Reconciliation that Christ has already accomplished or Established with God for us. Its a calling into fellowship 1 Cor 1:9

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Before and without a New Birth and Nature we are not fit vessels for Communion and Fellowship with God.

So that's the difference, When merely objectively reconciled, we are still in a state of nature and enmity against God, and hence the Need of New Birth Jn 3:7, then we are reconciled to God inherently.

The imperative in Vs 20 is actually a turning us to God, because though it is an imperative, its in the passive voice, meaning By the Command God is actually reconciling us to Himself, we are the subjects of God's Command, it works upon us. That's why the Gospel is called the Power of God unto salvation to everyone who is believing.

Reconcile the reconciled ! 2

Now who does this apply to [Reconciliation of the reconciled], for it only applies to believers, for only believers were reconciled to God by Christ's Death while being unbelievers. They were reconciled to God apart from any previous conditions performed in them or by them, it being solely perform by Christ's One Act of Obedience upon the Cross [Phil 2:8], meaning His Death/ Blood.

What is the Word of Reconciliation ?

What is the Word of Reconciliation ?

2 Cor 5:19,17

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Exactly what is this word of Reconciliation ? The Word of Reconciliation is actually found in Vs 17, All for whom Christ died are by His Death alone, legally before God's Law and Justice, a New Creature or Creation :

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Everyone Christ died for and rose from the dead in behalf of, are in Him and by that a New Creature !

This Message of Reconciliation is a fact accomplished for all whom He died, and all of them have a declared standing of having been Reconciled to God, and no sins can be imputed to/against them Vs 19

All for whom He died, their sins against God have all been purged away Heb 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Because of what Christ has done, all for whom He died are in a New Relationship with God .

The point is, their Faith is not what made them New Creatures, the Work of Christ did that alone, not even the Spirit did that at first; but Faith is called forth in the preaching of the Word of

Truth/Reconciliation, that those who are Spiritually alive are persuaded of that accomplished fact; So it is that we Trust Christ if we are already New Creatures.

In this we do not Trust Christ in order to be made New Creatures, but we Trust Him because we were made New Creatures. All who are made New Creatures positionally by His Death and Resurrection, are given life and Faith[By the Spirit] to become New Creatures experientially.

Paul Preaches in Reconciliation, that all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ 2 Cor 5:18

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

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.

Because of His Death alone, believers had a New Creation status of being Reconciled to God [while enemies], all that had been written against them as Per Col 2:14

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

All things pertaining to their sins and transgressions against God's Law, that made us guilty have been taken away from the record books, expunged,wiped out, so that they have been exonerated from them,so that not any of them will ever have to fear this scenario Rev 20:11-15, even though their names will concern one of those books then [The Book of Life] but for all others, the books record their evil deeds and iniquities against God's Holy Law and Gospel, and they shall be sentenced accordingly.

But the Message of Reconciliation is that the very sins the reprobate will be punished for, those very same type sins were never charged to those Christ died for, for in His Death, God was not charging them their Trespasses against them. This is the Word of Reconciliation.

 

[False Prophet]

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? 3Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. 4The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them. 5And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered. 6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek after them .

7Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: 8As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep; 9therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: 10Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Ezek 34

 

[beloved57]

All for whom Christ died have been objectively reconciled to God solely on the merits of Christ's Death. Now this means that by Christ's Death alone, those He died for are restored into a right relationship with God, even to a higher degree than they had in Adam before he sinned, even while they themselves in themselves are enemies, unbelievers, ungodly. Now how is this so ? Through the Lord Jesus Christ !!

Yes, that's the purport of 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.

That word reconciled means:

to change, exchange, as coins for others of equivalent value

a) to reconcile (those who are at variance)

b) return to favour with, be reconciled to one

c) to receive one into favour

Its to be now approved of God ! Ps 5:12

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Now again, those Christ died for have been given this favor with God, even while they are enemies in themselves, they are Justified Rom 5:9 !

However, this objective reconciliation which put them in the favor of God, a right relationship with Him, it precedes and effects subjective life, which is experiential Salvation by Christ's Life. One translation reads:

10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life.AMP

Now understand Paul's point here, that all whom have been objectively reconciled to God by Christ's Death [which is all for whom He died] being thusly objectively reconciled [while enemies, unbelievers] THEY SHALL BE [A Promise] SAVED/ Delivered/ Reconciled [Subjectively] by His Life !

Now understand, those whom Christ died for are not reconciled to God objectively when they believe, no, for they were reconciled objectively [put in a right relation with God, in His Favor] solely by Christ's Death and Blood, while being unbelievers and enemies.

Now not until that reconciled one is born again with Life from Christ and by the Spirit, they remain alienated from the life of God subjectively.

So in light of this, all for whom He died and reconciled to God[objectively] while being enemies,they must also be born again or made alive in accordance with their favorable relationship status they already have by Chris's Death for them.

The New Birth by the Spirit is the answer to the promise " THEY SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE" that is by His Resurrected Life which gives them New Birth.

Proof of that is seen here 1 Pet 1:3

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Notice what Peter declares the Father did through the Resurrection of Christ from the dead. He hath begotten us again. The words for begotten us again in the original are anagennaō:

to produce again, be born again, born anew

2) metaph. to have one's mind changed so that he lives a new life and one conformed to the will of God

Some translations read :

May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! On account of his vast mercy, he has given us new birth. You have been born anew into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.CBE

That's how those that Christ died for and reconciled to God [objectively] while they were enemies and unbelievers, this is how God makes Good the Promise, that those so reconciled while enemies, SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE, this is the fulfillment of the Promise , Their New Birth !

This New Birth is also called being saved according to His Mercy here Titus 3:5

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Is that not the same " according to His Mercy " here in Peter 1 Pet 1:3

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Yes it is, Peter just adds abundant mercy to his statement. So New Birth to live and New Life to God is granted to all for whom Christ died and reconciled to God while they were enemies. This cannot be denied without denying the Truth of scripture.

 

[beloved57]

Romans 5:10 is actually a Gospel declaration of what God through Christ has done for His Elect, and what He shall yet do for them through Christ. 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.

For He that spared not His Son but gave Him Up for us all [ The Elect] how shall He not along with Him bestow upon us all things, which includes giving us life by Him. Rom 8:32

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

2 Pet 1:3

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

You see, the giving of His Gift, His Son would be incomplete if by giving Him He did not with Him bestow Eternal Life upon us or subjective Spiritual Life. That is how one is saved out of death, by God communicating to them spiritual life, and that is what Christ's death merited for all whom He died. That's why Eternal Life [subjective spiritual life] s called the Gift of God through [by means of] Jesus Christ our Lord !

 

[beloved57]

Reconciliation is Salvation !

Reconciliation is Salvation because it puts them whom Christ died for into a experimentally saved state, which was promised here 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.

Reconciliation puts those Christ died for into fellowship with God, and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Yes, the reconciliation that Christ has accomplished by His Death has a double effect, first, those sinners He died for, He has by His Death reconciled God to them, for God could have no fellowship with them if sin has not been removed from them by His Law and Justice. Without God having been reconciled to those Christ died for, their sin would have been their eternal ruin, their fall in adam would have been fatal and without remedy. Yes even before that death occurred in time [in adam], God was reconciled by Christ's death, for He was the Lamb slain from the foundation Rev 13:8, if this had not been true, sin in adam could not have been atoned for, mercy could not have been shown; However the wrath and enmity the elect did incur by their sin in adam, and within themselves, was charged to Christ, because He Loved them, and had become their Surety before they sinned. This is the reconciliation Paul writes of in Rom 5:10a and 2 Cor 5:19 which consisted in not having their trespasses imputed to them, and so even while they were being enemies by nature, they had already been reconciled to God by the Merits of Christ's Death, even though Christ had not yet even died in time !

Then secondly, those Christ died for, they themselves personally shall be reconciled to God subjectively, by the Work of the Holy Spirit in them by New Birth, producing the spiritual gifts of Faith and Repentance; and that's why its said of those who have been reconciled by His death they are or shall be saved[reconciled subjectively] by His Life, this doctrine proves that all for whom Christ died shall be saved.

The Reconciliation of Christ death is ineffective if it does not turn all for whom He died from their sins as Per Acts 3:26

26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Thats the great blessing promised Abraham Gen 12:3

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The blessing is being turned away from our iniquities, That granting Faith and Repentance.

The ISV gives the proper sense to Acts 3:26

26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

The word bless here is crucial to understand, its the word verb eulogeó and means:

(lit: I speak well of) I bless; pass: I am blessed,properly, to speak (reason) which confers benefit; hence, bless.

In other words to bless both in Gen 12:3 and Acts 3:26 means the conferring of a benefit upon ! Or to bestow it upon them !

Its speaking of the Application of the Benefits of Christ's Death; Thats what being blessed means, Christ Himself is responsible for the application of the Merits of His death to those He died for, which application turns them away from their sins, or wickedness or evil ways.

And thats part of the Blessing of the Reconciliation that Christ accomplished by His Death ! Christ in it is actually active in turning those He died for from sin. So He completely saves [reconciles] His People from their sins Matt 1:21 !

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.

When it is promised that those who were reconciled to God while they were enemies, by the Death of God's Son Christ, and being those reconciled, they shall be saved by His Life; We must understand that His Life is their's also, for He neither died or rose again as an private person, hence He rose from the dead as their Head and Representative, as the Head of the Church, His Body Col 1:18

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Yes, again, He rose from the dead as the Head of the Body, the Church; so thats why His Life is their life, He lives from the dead they shall live from the dead.

It's guaranteed that they shall be saved by His Life, the Life of their Head. Jesus speaking to His Church Jn 14:19

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

Jesus here is speaking to members and representatives of His body the Church, His disciples. Yes at this time when He spoke those words they did believe on Him already, but many more[of the Body] shall believe on Him through their word Jn 17:20

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

And they shall believe because He Lives as their risen Head and Saviour to give them their share of His Life for them 1 Cor 15:45

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

As with adam they received from him physical life as he was their head, so too with Christ as their Risen Head they shall receive Life from Him, so all for whom He died shall be saved by His/their Life, for Christ is their Life Col 3:4

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

And thats why they shall be saved by His/ their Life 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.

Shall be saved by His/ their Life !cont

Shall be saved by His/ their Life !cont

Shall be saved by His Life ! What exactly does this mean ? To be saved here in Rom 5:10 is conversion, its to be saved from the power of sin like here Acts 26:18

18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

So it means to be saved from the power of sin or satan, but what it does not mean is being saved from the penalty of sin, no that comes exclusively by the blood or death of Christ; Thats why it is said of them right before that promise [they shall be saved by His Life] it reads that they had been reconciled to God by His death, while they were being enemies or unconverted. Yes, one can be saved from the penalty of their sins by forgiveness through His Blood, without being saved from the power of sin yet. The saved here in Rom 5:10 is that Salvation God's Elect experience through the Sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth 2 Thess 2:13 and that of Titus 3:5; however having been saved from the penalty of sin must precede being saved from its power.

All those Christ died for are always saved from the penalty of sin and from the legal guilt of it Heb 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

3 God’s Son has all the brightness of God’s own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together.

After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven.CEV

They are saved from the penalty of sin even while they themselves are dead in trespasses and sins, but however they are ensured to be delivered or saved from the power of sin by Christ's Life.

So the sequence is saved from the penalty first, then saved from the power of sin, and one day shall they be saved from the very presence of sin !

They all shall live whom He died for and redeemed. Redemption is from death Hosea 13:14

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

The devil had the power of death Heb 2:14

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Through Christ's Death, all for whom He died have been delivered/redeemed from death, to include Spiritual Death. If Christ's death does not deliver from spiritual death, we would ever remain spiritually dead.

You see death is the wages of sin, but by Redemption all sins have been taken and forgiven. He obtained Eternal Redemption for us, those He died for Heb 9:12

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

The word redemption lytrōsis means:

deliverance, esp. from the penalty of sin

Again the penalty of sin is death Rom 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

By Christ's death all for whom He died have been delivered from the wages of sin, which is death, and therefore for Christ's Sake should be awarded Life, and that more abundantly.

If all for whom Christ died do not receive New Life because of being delivered from the penalty of sins by His Death, then His death was not redemptive at all.

 

[God's Truth]

Reconciled while enemies is about GENTILES; they were reconciled to God while still enemies---they did not have to clean themselves first with any of the old laws ceremonial external cleanings before being saved.

Reconciled while enemies is about GENTILES;

oh Yeah, Was Paul a Gentile ? 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.
