What if Paul wasn’t presenting reconciliation as an offer waiting to be accepted... but as a finished reality waiting to be realized? In this teaching, we walk carefully through 2 Corinthians 5:14–21 and let Paul speak in his own grammar, not our assumptions. “One died for all, therefore all died.” If all died, then death already happened. Not later. Not conditionally. Not after belief. Death with Christ requires inclusion in Christ. You cannot participate in a death from the outside. Participation assumes union. So the question becomes: was humanity included? Paul does not say God will reconcile. He does not say God wants to reconcile. He says God reconciled. Past tense. Completed action. God as the sole actor. We slow down and examine the Greek verbs Paul chose. Aorist. Perfect. Present. Imperfect. Imperative. Not to impress anyone, but to let the grammar do its work. Paul uses completed-action forms for what God has done, present tense for God’s ongoing posture, and imperatives that call people into alignment with what is already true. “Be reconciled.” Not create reconciliation. Not initiate peace. Align with what has already been accomplished. Ambassadors do not negotiate peace into existence. They announce peace that already exists. You only send ambassadors after the war is over. This changes everything. Reconciliation is not the reward at the end of belief. It is the reality belief awakens us to. Faith does not move God toward us. Faith opens our eyes to where we already are. When we reverse Paul’s order, we get fear, striving, and a conditional gospel. When we follow Paul’s order, we get rest, peace, and transformation. This session will challenge inherited assumptions about salvation, union, and the nature of God’s action in Christ. It is not about minimizing response. It is about restoring Paul’s logic. Conclusion... or condition? That’s the question.
