2 Corinthians 5:18-19–"All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation."
Reconciliation is central to the the message of the gospel. And the reconciliation presented by the gospel is a comprehensive one; that is, every piece of a person undergoes the process of reconciliation. In truth, once we come to Christ all that we are, each broken bit of who we are begins to be reconciled. Of course, the first area of reconciliation is a divine one as we are reconciled to God but this reconciliation does not end there. We are also reconciled internally, as we are blessed with a peace internal. But in addition to these we are reconciled relationally. At the onset, it must be said that this part of reconciliation will most certainly be, at the very least, a process that will take time and patience but the promise of reconciliation remains.
We should not easily forget this that God has and is reconciling us in Christ!
