As Romans 5:10 states, we were once enemies of God, but through Christ's death and resurrection, we have been reconciled to God, and as Colossians 1:20 notes, Christ's work on the cross has reconciled all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Through this reconciliation, believers can experience the peace and forgiveness of God, as expressed in Psalms 103:12, where our sins are removed from us as far as the east is from the west.
