Scriptures to consider:
Colossians 1
For it
pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 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.

Roman's 5:
For when we were still without strength, ]in due time Christ died for
the ungodly.....
Therefore, as through [
h]one man’s offense
judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one[
i] Man’s righteous act
the free gift came to all men,
resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace abounded much more

2 Corinthians 5
18 Now
all things
are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not [
d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were
pleading through us: we implore
you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

1 corinthians 15: 21 For since by man
came death, by Man also
came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ
all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those
who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then
comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy
that will be destroyed
is death. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet
