Reconciliation: Between God and Man

Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of the blood, and applied it with his finger to all four horns of the altar, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement could be made on it.

And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.

Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

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

All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: …

…by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace …

…and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross. …

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
