Reconciliation is the key. Reconciliation between man and God.
Jesus is the mediator between man and God. No man cometh to the Father except through the Son. We have separated ourselves from God by our sin but through Jesus Christ we are reconciled to the Father.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
[2 Corinthians 5:18-21]
"For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight-- if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister."
[Colossians 1:19-23]
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
[Romans 5:8-10]
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Jesus said to him, "I am the WAY, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
[John 14:6]
This is what Christ's death on Cavalries Cross and his resurrection has done. It has built a bridge between us and God, it has removed the middle wall of partition that divides us from God in order that we may enter in and be reconciled to Him.
