<p>5:11&nbsp;<i>And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation</i>- It&rsquo;s not all jam tomorrow, a hope of resurrection from the dead in the future. We joy right now, because through Christ &ldquo;we have now received the atonement&rdquo;, s.w. &ldquo;reconciliation&rdquo;, the reconciling spoken of in v. 10. The courtroom &lsquo;declaring right&rsquo; or innocent goes much further- we become personally set right with the Judge Himself. The whole world has in a sense been reconciled to God, but we are those who have &ldquo;received&rdquo; that reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:19).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
