Yes, the reconciliation is an accomplished fact for all men; however, the finished work of reconciliation does no one any good unless it is apprehended through the ministry of reconciliation (i.e., the means of grace).

Either it is accomplished, or it a only a possibility. Which is it?

Is it an accomplished fact for the elect who are not regenerate? Or only a possibility?

Are the elect reconciled to God before faith? If so, what need is there for justification by faith? If not, is not the atonement alone sufficient to reconcile the elect?
