What does it mean to be reconciled to a brother?

Answered in 1 source

Being reconciled to a brother means addressing and resolving conflicts before approaching God in worship.

Jesus emphasizes reconciliation with our brothers as a prerequisite for worshiping God in Matthew 5:23-24. He instructs believers to leave their offering and seek reconciliation first, proving that God values relationships and the motives behind our worship. This directive underscores that God will not accept worship marked by malice or unresolved conflict. True worship stems from a heart aligned with Christ's forgiveness and grace. Therefore, believers are called to actively pursue peace with others, reflecting the love and mercy of Christ in their relationships.
