“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
For if, while 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! The reconciliation of enemies to God through Christ's death becomes the basis for assurance of eschatological salvation. Having been reconciled, believers are now friends of God rather than enemies. Salvation through Christ's life completes what his death initiated.
