Not Remain An Outcast - 2 Samuel 14:14

2 Samuel 14:14 ESV 
We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.

This passage would seem to contain the essence of what God has done and is doing. He has made a way for those who are lost, that they may be reconciled to life. 

The water was spilled long ago. Adam spilled man's water of life through disobedience. Death entered creation and could not be undone. Adam and we were banished from our access to life, but God did not take away life. 

There is a way to return, to be an outcast no longer. With obedience we can reverse the curse of disobedience and return to a right relationship with the living God. 

He invites us all to drink of the living water which flows eternally.
