Who am I? Once Enemies, Now Reconciled

IN LIGHT OF what we read about Jesus Christ in Colossians 1, it’s obvious that we can’t compare to His glory. Colossians 1:21 clearly describes who we were because of Christ—and also who we are now after finding salvation in Him for our sins.

Before Christ, we were born enemies. We were not born cool with God. We were far from Him, not close. But Paul says something incredible: Because the supreme Christ died physically in our place and took our punishment, we have been reconciled to God. Now we can enter the presence of God and be seen by Him as “without a single fault” (Colossians 1:22).

We did not reconcile ourselves. Christ reconciled us and bridged the gap, making us—His enemies—into the faultless friends and family of God.
