Romans 5:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

We were reconciled to God; put into a capacity of reconciliation, God being by Christ's death made reconcilable, and also actually reconciled, when we believe, through the merits of the death of Christ. We shall be saved by his life; i.e. by the resurrection to life. Salvation is ascribed to the resurrection and life of Christ, because he thereby doth perfect our salvation, he ever living to make intercession for us, Hebrews 12:25; and because by his resurrection and life we shall be raised to eternal life at that day.

Romans 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
