The concept of rejoicing in God is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/philippians/4-4.htm">Philippians 4:4</a>, where believers are encouraged to "rejoice in the Lord always."through our Lord Jesus Christ This phrase underscores the centrality of Jesus Christ in the believer's relationship with God. Jesus is the mediator who makes reconciliation possible. The title "Lord" affirms His divinity and authority, while "Jesus Christ" acknowledges His role as the Messiah. This is consistent with <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>, where Jesus declares Himself the way to the Father.through whom we have now received reconciliation Reconciliation refers to the restoration of a broken relationship between humanity and God, made possible through Jesus' sacrificial death.

"We shall be saved as the sequel of our reconciliation, but we are something more than reconciled. Ours is not merely a passive, but an active state. We exult or glory in God, who, through Christ, has given us this reconciliation."Now.--In this present time, in our present condition.

And not only so, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. We not only have an assured hope; we also glory already in our restoration to peace with God; our mental state is an exultant one even now. A tacit reference may be supposed to <a href="/romans/3-27.htm">Romans 3:27</a> and <a href="/romans/4-2.htm">Romans 4:2</a>, where all human glorying was said to be shut out. Yes, this remains true - in ourselves we cannot glory; but in God, who has reconciled us, we can and do. It is to be observed that neither this nor other passages (such as <a href="/romans/8-30.htm">Romans 8:30</a>, seq.), where an exultant assurance of salvation is expressed, justify the doctrine of assurance, as sometimes understood; viz. in the sense that an individual believer may and ought to feel certain of his own final salvation, on the ground of having once been justified.
