Mans Question #56
What is meant by the atonement???
Answer
- The atonement is Christ's satisfying divine justice by His sufferings and death in the place of sinners
Romans 5:8-11
8. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
10. For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
11. Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
