When people reject Jesus Christ, it is because they do not fully understand Him. Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden of Eden started a war between God and sin; in the Old Testament when the Law of Moses was in effect, God stood in anger and judgment against man. However, when Jesus was born, He was heaven’s peace offering. God is now no longer angry with us, because Jesus took all of His wrath when He went to the cross on our behalf. God is not our judge anymore, but our loving heavenly Father who is ready to forgive and bless us abundantly. It is not God’s intent to punish us; although some have not been reconciled back to Him, He has been fully reconciled to us through Christ. Jesus has paid the price for the sins of the whole world; to be at peace with God, all we need to do is receive that payment by faith.
