What does it mean to agree with your adversary quickly?

Answered in 1 source

Agreeing with your adversary signifies acknowledging your sin and aligning with God's judgment of you.

The phrase 'agree with your adversary quickly,' found in Matthew 5:25, relates to recognizing our guilt before God and responding appropriately. This adversary is our own sinfulness and the judgment we deserve. Agreeing involves taking God's side concerning our sinful nature and acknowledging our need for His mercy. It emphasizes the urgency of responding to the call of reconciliation through faith in Christ, lest we face dire consequences. This urgent call reflects the gospel's nature, prompting sinners to turn to Christ, realizing that without agreement with God concerning our condition, we remain under judgment. Thus, being reconciled and agreeing with God about our sin is fundamental to obtaining God's grace.
