Who does God reconcile to Himself?

Answered in 1 source

God reconciles those who are alienated and seen as sinners, through the redemptive work of Christ.

According to Colossians 1:21-22, God reconciles those who were once alienated and enemies in their minds due to wicked works. This reconciliation is necessary because all humans are born estranged from God, inherently sinful and unable to restore their relationship with Him. The grace of God shines through in this act of reconciliation, as it is not for the righteous but for the ungodly that Christ offered Himself. The doctrine of election and limited atonement suggests that this reconciliation is specific, aimed at God's chosen people who recognize their sinful state and are in need of His mercy.
