“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;”
King James Version (KJV)

One definition of the word remission is forgiveness, with another being "the cancellation of a debt". So we find the words forgiveness and remission being very related to each other, with that idea that JESUS forgives sin, and brings it into remission, making it as if it never happened.
We are indeed "washed clean" of offenses that we've committed before coming into relationship with the Lord, and of mistakes that we make afterwards when we ask Him to forgive and help us with those troubles.
Example Scripture: "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins"
Matthew 26:28.

I think he is talking about making believers of Christ one in him. The enmity he speaks of is the one we inherited in the fall when He said there would be enmity. Between God and man. He took an polished that enmity . Those making peace. There was ever ever peace until Christ did this. Jesus made peace removing the enmity.praise God !
