What does reconciliation mean in a biblical context?

Answered in 1 source

Reconciliation in the Bible refers to the restoration of the relationship between God and humanity through Christ's atoning work.

Reconciliation involves transforming the once hostile relationship between God and mankind into one of peace and harmony, made possible by Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. In 2 Corinthians 5:18, Paul describes believers being reconciled to God through Christ, emphasizing that this reconciliation is not simply an offer but a definitive action accomplished by Christ's death. The concept stresses that our enmity against God due to sin has been resolved through the atonement, allowing for fellowship with Him.
