What does the Bible say about being reconciled to God?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that we are to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, who has removed the enmity between us and God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:20-21, the Apostle Paul urges us to be reconciled to God, stating that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not counting people's sins against them. This reconciliation comes through the sacrificial work of Christ, who bore our sins and became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Reconciliation requires a change on our part; we must give up our opposition to God and submit to His will, recognizing that our enmity can only be resolved through faith in Christ's atoning work.
