Reconciliation with God

Now while Ezra was praying and making confession, weeping and prostrating himself before the house of God, a very large assembly, men, women, and children, gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept greatly.

And not only this, but we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

For if their rejection proves to be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
