Reconciliation with God
Since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
Because we often like to be in control of our own lives, one of the hardest things to accept is that we don’t make up the rules—God does. God says that sin deserves eternal death, and every one of us except Jesus has sinned. Your assurance for salvation is based on the fact that Jesus stood in your place and took the judgment you deserved for your sin. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, God promises that he no longer considers you an enemy but a friend—even his own child. What a comfort to know that you have been reconciled with God.
