Col 1:18-20 And He is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased
the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; and having made peace by the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile ALL THINGS unto Himself; by Him, I say,
whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
NLT 1:20 and through Him God reconciled everything to Himself, He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross.
We were once enemies of the cross of cross, but having obtained MERCY we are no longer enemies and have been reconciled to God. Did we do this or did He do this?
