"God does not need to be reconciled to us, but we need reconciliation to Him.
And He Himself,
in the kindness of His heart,
makes the reconciliation.
We are "made near by the blood of Christ" (Eph. 2:13).
How so?
Because it was sin that separated us from Him, and made us enemies; and "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin" (l John 1:7)."A.T. Jones & E.J. Waggoner
