Who has been reconciled according to the Bible?

In Ephesians 2:14-18, the Apostle Paul speaks of two groups, Jews and Gentiles, who have been reconciled to God through the sacrifice of Christ. The reconciliation is not universal for all people but is specifically for those whom God has chosen to save. This is further supported by passages that discuss God's elect and His intention to save a particular people (Romans 9:11-13). The work of reconciliation is applied to those who are in Christ, illustrating that it is through their faith in Him that they receive forgiveness and peace. Thus, reconciliation is a privileged position for the elect, highlighting God's sovereign grace in salvation.
