How do we know God offers reconciliation?

The assurance of God's reconciliation through Christ is evident in the New Testament, particularly in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:18, where it emphasizes that all things are of God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This reconciliation is not a mere invitation but a divine directive, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:20, where Paul urges believers to be reconciled to God. The sinful nature of humanity was fully addressed by Jesus' death, which removes any barrier to reconciliation, highlighting the depths of God's love and grace towards sinners.
