START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Colossians 1:20
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
RECONCILE TO HIMSELF ALL THINGS / COLOSSIANS 1:20
In a Biblical sense, “to be reconciled” means to be restored to a right relationship with God. However, this passage does not mean that Christ has automatically saved all people. Everyone still must choose for themselves whether to accept or reject that relationship. Those who reject Christ remain enemies of God (Romans 2:4-10) and are headed for eternity in hell. Only those who accept Christ’s forgiveness and yield their lives to Him are reconciled to God and saved. When the first humans sinned, not only was the spiritual harmony between God and people destroyed but also disorder and corruption came into all creation (Romans 8:9-22). When Christ died on the cross for our sins, He made peace possible between God and humanity, restoring people’s opportunity for a personal relationship with God through faith in Christ (Colossians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:18; 1 Peter 3:18). In the process, Christ also restored the harmony (potentially) of the physical world and everything in the universe (Colossians 1:16-18), though the full restoration will occur only after Christ returns to earth at the end of history (Romans 8:21; Revelation 20-21).
