Thats the only part that needs to be done, Gods part. You dont believe that. Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
2 Cor 5:18-19
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
If you dont believe its all of God, reconciliation, you in unbelief

You left off verse 20:
20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
Clearly, the full passage shows that restoring the relationship requires some response by Man also.

See if Christ didn't die for us to deliver us from unbelief, then it would be no hope and no faith in Christ since by nature all of us as sinners are shut up unto unbelief Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. AV
For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all. Darby
It takes the sovereign mercy of God to come out of unbelief 1 Tim 1:13
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
He obtained Mercy from the Lord
1 Cor 7:25
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

The fact that God justified the ungodly Rom 4:5 shows that one for whom Christ died is saved from the penalty of their sins, Justified while in unbelief.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 3

God has mercy on some for their unbelief. In Rom 11 its seen that some Gentiles received mercy even in unbelief Rom 11:30-31
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
And some jews who are in unbelief obtain mercy as well:
31 Even so have these[jews] also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Some People from amongest the Gentiles and Jews who are unbelievers, will inspite of it, obtain mercy from God. These are the vessels of mercy Paul speaks of in Rom 9:23-4
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
See unbelief wont stop God from having mercy upon these and regenerate them and give them faith Titus 3:5
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Vessels of Mercy can never be condemned for, nor die in unbelief !

So the elect from amongst the jews and gentiles, for their unbelief, they obtain mercy Rom 11:30-32
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all[elect jew/gentile] in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Paul was one of the elect jews who through his unbelief obtained mercy 1 Tim 1:12-13
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
See God could have condemned Paul to hell while in unbelief as He Justly does to others Rom 11:20
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Jn 3:18
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
So clearly all are not cut off, rejected of God because of their unbelief ! Some obtain mercy instead of Justice ! 3
