When MAN is in the mind of the Spirit, it means a change of disposition towards an object.
When NEW CREATION is in the mind of the Spirit it means having the thing suited to God in His own nature.
Reconciliation is always connected with the death of Christ, because it is only- as possessing a new nature that we are reconciled.
Scripture never speaks of GOD reconciled. It is man that needs reconciliation.
2 Cor. 5:1919To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:19) tells us that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself; but man refused to be reconciled. He rejected God's Son sent in grace.
Now the glad tidings of the blessed fact that He who knew no sin was made sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him, is preached, that through faith those who believe should be reconciled.
BEHOLD the Lamb" enthroned on high—
"He is our peace:"
In Him we are to God brought nigh"
He is our peace:"
He who on Calvary's cross has bled
He who was numbered with the dead—
Exalted now o'er all as Head,
"He is our peace."
"Complete in Him" at God's right hand-
"He is our peace:"
Before the throne we boldly stand-
"He is our peace:"
The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat,
His pierced side, His hands and feet,
Proclaim redemption's work complete—
"He is our peace."
God finds eternal rest in Him—
"He is our peace;"
That rest which was disturbed by sin—
"He is our peace;"
We too by faith on Him repose,
Who did the Father's heart disclose,
From which this full salvation flows—
"He is our peace."
As one with Him we rest secure—
"He is our peace."
Unchanging doth His work endure—
"He is our peace;"
Now seated on the Father's throne,
Elect and precious Corner-stone,
On Him we rest-on Him alone—
"He is our peace."
