How long does God view unsaved people as His enemies?
According to the context, God views unsaved people as enemies as long as they remain outside His way—until they come back and come God's way. While they are enemies, God does not stop loving them; He continues pouring out grace and offering salvation, as reconciliation is available to the whole human race.
Les explains that lost people are not under God's control, so they are enemies and aliens. He says this is how God views the mass of humanity until they come back and come God's way. Yet God does not stop loving His enemies; He keeps pouring out His grace and offering salvation. Les points to Romans 5:10, where Paul writes that when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. This reconciliation is not just possible but available to the whole human race. He also notes that believers, having been reconciled, shall be saved by His life, since He arose victorious over sin, death, and hell, and that victory is imputed to our account, giving us salvation for this life and all eternity.
