Christ in Our Place

Notes

Christ died for the ungodly Verse 6 - There was nothing pleasant in the ungodly (in ourselves) that Christ died for us. God loved us and Christ died for us because we are the works of His hands. God is pleased that all the fullness should dwell in Christ. So in Christ God reconciled us to Himself. The love of God The idea in verses 7-9 is that a man might (not likely though) die for a perfect man, and even less for one that has done some bad things. In contrast to that mans love, God demonstrates His love to ungodly, wicked, sinners in that Christ died for us while we were still in ours sins. Enemies reconciled to God Verse 10-11 - We the enemies of God, were reconciled to God through the death of Christ. If we are reconciled by Christ's death, we will be saved by His life. Christ is alive and we may be assured of our salvation. So we are reconciled to God by Christ's death, saved by Christ's life, and now we rejoice in God for these facts.
