Basically, it is God moving from His own side, to remove the gap that sin had created between us, and a Holy God. When we are reconciled, it means that the gap has been removed and God can draw near to us. 

 

 

It is not like a political coalition where both sides make a move, the move is entirely from God`s side

 

The bringing entirely together two estranged parties

the gap is not bridged but entirely removed
