How do we know reconciliation with God is true?

Answered in 3 sources

Reconciliation with God is assured through the death of Christ, which fulfills justice and offers believers peace (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).

In 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, we learn that 'God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.' This verse assures believers that God Himself has provided reconciliation through Jesus Christ, demonstrating His love and justice. The substitutionary atonement of Christ satisfies God's holy law, thus enabling us to be reconciled. Our faith is not about making reconciliation happen but about receiving the gracious work that God has accomplished through His Son, giving us certainty in our restored relationship with Him.
