Religious Enemies of God

 

"When we were enemies" (Rom.5:10a), "... Christ died for the ungodly." (Romans 5:6).

These verses describe all people before they receive the good news of salvation in Christ, by faith in His death for them; we were God's enemies, at enmity against Him! Paul wrote, "When we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son." (Rom 5:10).

But how can anybody who is "good" be considered a "religious enemy" of God?
