How to Be Reconciled to God

All human beings have a spiritual problem known as sin, that separates us from the Holy God.
The Bible teaches us in Romans 6:23 that "the wages of sin is death (spiritual separation)and that "all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23)."
However, the Gospel declares to us "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures," and that "He rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures... (1 Corinthians 15:3,4)." 
This demonstrates God's "... own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by his life (Romans 5:8-10)." 
"... if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)."
