What does the Bible say about peace through the blood of Christ?

In Colossians 1:20, we learn that Christ made peace through the blood of His cross, which accomplished reconciliation between God and His people. This peace signifies that we've been reconciled to God, who was previously estranged from us due to our sin. It was necessary for Christ to shed His blood to satisfy divine justice and restore our relationship with God, as we were once alienated by our wicked works (Colossians 1:21-22). Thus, His sacrifice not only addresses our guilt but also secures our acceptance in the Beloved.
