Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that humans are born alienated from God due to their evil behavior, but reconciliation is possible through faith in Christ (Colossians 1:21-22).
The Bible explains that all people are born alienated from God and enemies in their minds because of their evil behavior (Colossians 1:21). This state of alienation indicates a profound separation from God's love and grace. Without intervention, humans do not realize their need for reconciliation, often remaining indifferent due to their depraved nature. The hope of the gospel lies in the fact that God has provided a way for us to be reconciled through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By placing faith in Him, one can move from alienation to acceptance in God’s sight, thus being presented holy and blameless (Colossians 1:22).
