Lewis Sperry Chafer, Major Bible Themes:
The concept in reconciliation is not that God changes, but that His relationship to man changes because of the redeeming work of Christ. Man himself is forgiven, justified, and raised spiritually to the level where he is reconciled to God. The thought is not that God is reconciled to the sinner, but rather that the sinner is adjusted to God’s holy character. [my emphasis]
