What does it mean that Christ made reconciliation for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Christ made reconciliation for our sins by bearing the punishment we deserve, restoring our relationship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).

Reconciliation signifies the restoration of a broken relationship, and in a theological context, it refers to the process by which God, through Christ, restores sinners to Himself. As taught in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, it is through Jesus that God reconciled the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them. Christ achieved this by absorbing the wrath and judgment that our sins warranted, allowing us to be viewed as justified before a holy God. This means that those who believe in Christ no longer face alienation but have a restored relationship characterized by peace and acceptance.
