Reconciled to God

The Lord ‘bore our sins in his own body on the tree’ (1 Pet 2:24).[Rom 5:10] ‘...we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son...’, and [Rom 3:24-25a] ‘Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood’. A propitiation -- it satisfied the righteousness and justice of a holy God -- so that God’s righteousness and forgiveness, His mercy and truth, could coexist (Psa 85:10).
