Peace and Reconciliation

Why do people need to be reconciled to God? Our sin has created a separation between us and God. Because of the sin of mankind, God’s wrath will come upon humanity. Therefore, people need to be reconciled to God. But how can this happen? How can we be reconciled to God? The answer to this important question is found in Jesus Christ. Instead of God’s wrath being poured out on sinful humans, God sent His only Son to bear his wrath in our place. Jesus Christ was punished for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, He made our peace with God possible. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man, and it is only through Jesus Christ that we can go to the Father.
