God initiates reconciliation through Jesus Christ
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”

Conclusion
Jesus died as a substitute for us.
He and the sinner changed places on the cross - He suffered pain and agony we should have suffered.
He was God and man in one person, that God and man might be happy together again.

19 For God in all his fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
20 and through him God reconciled
everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
21 This includes you who were once far away from God.
You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.
22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body.
As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
23 But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it.
Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News.
Take advantage of the reconciliation God and Christ have made possible so you can live at peace with God.
