People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 5:11
We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The ground of
rejoicing is the reconciliation with God which has been effected
through Jesus Christ.
By whom we have now received the atonement. "Atonement", in the
Common Version, is rendered, as it should be, in the Revised Version,
"reconciliation". The same Greek word, "katallage", is found also in
Romans 5:10. The thought is the same as that when "peace with God" is
spoken of in Romans 5:1. The steps of the divine plan, as shown in
these verses, are (1) The death of Christ for us. (2) The satisfaction
thus made to the demands of justice. (3) The propitiation, or God's
acceptance of Christ's sacrifice for us. (4) Reconciliation. Our
acceptance of Christ. "We love God because he first loved us"
(1 John 4:19). (5) Forgiveness of sin, or justification. Our sins are
blotted out. (6) Our redemption from the grave. (7) Our glorification
in heaven.
