How do we know that reconciliation with God is possible?
Answered in 3 sources
Reconciliation with God is possible because of Jesus Christ, who reconciled us to God by His sacrificial death (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 that God has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This reconciliation is not based on our actions but is entirely the work of God. It affirms that our sins were imputed to Christ, who bore the penalty on our behalf. Through Christ, God no longer counts our trespasses against us, illustrating the depth of His grace and mercy toward humanity. This doctrine of reconciliation assures believers that through faith in Christ, they are restored to a right relationship with God.
