title: Just Words: Understanding the Fullness of the Gospel
author: J. A. O. Preus
description: Second, Matthew 5:24 (sermon on the mount) commands "leave your gift there before the altar and first be reconciled to your brother." So, even though we are the objects of reconciliaton, though we receive it, that it is not only the overcoming of our hostility, but what God has done in Christ to overcome God's own hostility to sinners.
