God's Enemies?
When I was a kid, I remember how guys used to fight
each other and five minutes later, they were best
friends. I always thought that was odd.
However, compared with the Bible, it's not so odd.
Paul says in Romans 5:10, For if, when we were God's
enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death
of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled,
shall we be saved through his life!" We were all God's
enemies before Jesus Christ.
When Christ came and sacrificed himself on the cross,
it gave us the opportunity to be reconciled to God. In
other words, Jesus made it possible for us to become
God's children through the cross of Calvary.
Therefore, seeing two guys fight and then become best
friends five minutes later is not so strange anymore
after reading the words of Paul. We used to fight with
God and still do with our own selfish desires and other
sinful ways. But, when Jesus became the mediator for
us, he made it possible for us to be best friends with
God again.
