Peace with God

I have often heard it said that someone made their peace with God.  Is this a true statement?  Does anyone make his peace with God?  As we study Paul's second letter to the Corinthian church we see that we do not make peace with God but that He makes peace with us.  We do not reconcile with God but we accept His reconciliation.  That reconciliation was made possible through the cross.  At the cross Christ became sin, not a sinner, but rather the sacrifice and payment for sin and by accepting the reconciliation made possible we become the righteousness of God.  It happens at the cross.  So let us stop telling people to make their peace with God and tell them that the peace has been made and we just need to accept that gift.
