God of Reconciliation

Again from my What Do I Know About My God? notebook, today's heading is My God is a God of Reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5: 17-18 (NKJV)

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

Colossians 1: 19-22 (NKJV)

For it pleased the Father that in Him [Jesus] all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.

Hebrews 4: 14-16 (NKJV)

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot symphathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet withou sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
