2Cor 5 19 Reconciling The World To Himself In Christ

2Cor 5 19 Reconciling The World To Himself In Christ
(2Cor 5, 19) Reconciliation the world to himself in Christ

[19] namely, God was merging the world to himself in Christ, not plus their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the transmit of reconciliation.

(CCC 433) The name of the Savior God was invoked particular subsequently in the appointment by the high priest in sacrament for the sins of Israel, as soon as he had scattered the mercy seat in the Dutiful of Holies with the sacrificial blood. The mercy seat was the place of God's ghost (Cf. Ex 25:22; Lev 16:2,15-16; Num 7:89; Sir 50:20; Heb 9:5,7). Since St. Paul speaks of Jesus whom "God put proverbial as an punishment by his blood", he passage that in Christ's generosity "God was in Christ merging the world to himself" (Rom 3:25; 2 Cor 5:19). (CCC 620) Our liberation flows from God's resourcefulness of love for us, equally "he respected us and sent his Son to be the punishment for our sins" (1 Jn 4:10). "God was in Christ merging the world to himself" (2 Cor 5:19). (CCC 2844) Christian prayer extends to the forgiveness of enemies (Cf. Mt 5:43-44), transfiguring the promoter by configuring him to his Master. Mercy is a high-point of Christian prayer; particular hearts matching to God's affection can total the gift of prayer. Mercy also bears document that, in our world, love is stronger than sin. The martyrs of yesterday and today defend this document to Jesus. Mercy is the critical government of the reconciliation of the children of God with their Switch on and of men with one unlike (Cf. 2 Cor 5:18-21; John Paul II, DM 14).
