Jesus literally became sin and died so that we could become righteous and live. The reconciliation was not just about dealing with sin so we could “live better.” It was about dealing with sin so we could enjoy the Father again in living spirit. This is now our primary ministry, to bring all people into the body of Jesus. God is reconciled to men in Christ now our purpose is to reconcile men to God.
“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
God provided everything to get His kids back. We just have to persuade His damaged children to walk through the door. While the enemy lies about our Father, distracts His children, and tries to offer Christian religion instead of reconciliation.
The reconciliation is eternal life; it is intimately knowing the Father and Jesus. God loved His estranged children so much that He supplied His perfect son, so that whoever rests “in him” will not be destroyed but instead enjoy intimacy with both Jesus and the Father. This is what I mean when I say true Christianity is not religion, it is relationship with our Dad.
