Study Note

The declaration 'all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation' links the ontological claim ('all things are of God') with the soteriological event ('reconciled us') and the ecclesiological vocation ('ministry of reconciliation') in a single theological movement. The word 'katallassō' (reconcile) appears in the New Testament almost exclusively in Paul and always in the direction of God reconciling humanity to himself rather than humans reconciling God to themselves — a reversal of the typical sacrificial logic of pagan religion. The conferral of the 'ministry of reconciliation' upon believers makes the church a participatory extension of God's own reconciling action, giving ecclesiology a directly missiological foundation. This verse undergirds the entire missionary theology of 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 and has been foundational in ecumenical and post-colonial missiology.
