1 | What needs to be reconciled in heaven? | Col 1:20 | christian7 | 102446 | ||
I under stand that we as sinners need to be reconciled back to God through Jesus. My question is what could be the things in heaven that need to be reconciled back to Him? I seem to be missing something. Thanks in advance for all answers given. God Bless |

2 | What needs to be reconciled in heaven? | Col 1:20 | shalor | 102459 | ||
(Col 1:20-22 NASB) and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. 21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22 yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- Col 1:20: (vv. 20-22) Notice that peace with God is made "through the blood of His cross." The substitutionary nature of this reconciliation (atonement) is seen in vv. 21, 22; from being "alienated and enemies in ... mind" because of works of wickedness, the Christian has moved in Christ to being "reconciled ... holy ... blameless ... above reproach in His sight." Christ, on the other hand, went from being the spotless Lamb of God to being sin on our behalf (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21). Any theology that denies the substitutionary atonement of Christ or neglects the saving power of His sacrifice and the necessity of His shed blood, no matter how impressive otherwise, is a false theology with no power to save. The cross of Christ is a constant reminder of proud mankind's inability to generate its own salvation. The substitutionary atonement is not one theory among many, but an eternal fact reflected in many scriptural metaphors. |

I believe I understood your question, I just did't make my answer clear. Something I am famous for. What was reconciled in heaven is the seperation between God and man caused by the fall. (Rom 8:20-22 NASB) For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (2 Cor 5:18-20 NASB) Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. We are now reconciled with God. This does not mean everyone will be saved, just that the bridge has been established between God and man. |
