A relationship can be broken by the wrongs committed by either or both partners. The first step in the restoration process begins with a desire for restoration, followed by genuine confession and forgiveness. Complete restoration, however, occurs only through reconciliation—when both parties come to accept each other and live harmoniously with acceptance, love, and harmony.
Our vital relationship with God was broken by our own wrongdoing. We lost our peace with God and became objects of His righteous judgment. Yet, seeing our helplessness, God, in His love and mercy, took the initiative in restoring our relationship. The cross of Christ is sufficient to atone for our sins, which separate us from God. No matter how far you may have strayed from God, no matter how bad you have been, there is hope for you, when you repent at the foot of the cross.
