Reconciliation Through Christ

Reconciliation with God is mankind's greatest need and this passage in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 is a major text in the New Testament that treats of this subject. In the Biblical sense, reconciliation means bringing peace and friendship between former enemies. The Bible is forthright in declaring that because of their sin, men and women are enemies of the holy and righteous God. What they are powerless to do in being reconciled to God, he did by sending his only Son from heaven to accomplish reconciliation by his death and resurrection. God is now reconciled to those who come to faith in his Son.
