Reconciliation involves no change in us. There is nothing we do to cleanse us from our sins. Only Jesus can do that. Being saved by His life is evidenced by a changed and changing life. We participate in this work by walking in His way.
The resurrection of Christ allows us to enter His resurrected life and claim it for our own. Our resurrection begins with an ongoing walk with Him in which we grow progressively closer to being made in His image.
Being reconciled to God can lead us to His life. Salvation comes when we walk with Him, as we follow the leading of His Holy Spirit.
