Quotes about Atonement

The first time [Christ] came to slay sin in men. The second time He will come to slay men in sin.

Consider the work of Calvary. A perfect work, perfect in every respect, perfect in every aspect.

It is important to emphasize that the Gospel centers in the death and resurrection of Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 15:3—4 Paul sums up its message in three historical facts: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. . . . He was buried . . . He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

self-denial is a necessary aspect of a Christian life; that the cross is central to human understanding; and that, without the atonement, every one of us would stand forever in the role of Judas.

From this it follows that the Body of Christ is the place of acceptance, the place of atonement and peace between God and man. God finds man in the Body of Christ, and man finds himself accepted by God in that same body.

Consider God's charity. Where else have we ever seen someone who has been offended voluntarily paying out his life for those who have offended him?

Jesus paid it all. I mean all. He not only purchased your forgiveness of sins and your ticket to heaven, He purchased every blessing and every answer to prayer you will ever receive.

To remember no more is God's way of expressing absolute forgiveness.

Christ's death was the result of God's grace; grace is not the result of Christ's death.

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

What was in the cup Jesus drank at His crucifixion? It was the wrath of God.

Grace is not a matter of God's making up the difference, but of God's providing all the "cost" of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.
