Atonement

Hi my friends! Today we continue our look at what the Bible says about atonement. [1] The following verses tell us why Atonement was necessary. Isaiah 59:16,17; Luke 19:10; Hebrews 9:22,24,28.

Luke 19:10

 ¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Christ alone could bear and pay our sin debt; He alone was without blemish and the only perfect one to make atonement for us.[2] The following verses tell us that this perfect atonement was once and forever. Hebrews 7:27; Heb.9:24-28; Heb. 10:10,12,14; 1 Peter 3:18. 1 Peter 3:18–For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: [3] Ephesians 5:2 tells us this atonement was acceptable to God. Eph.5:2–And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.     [ to be continued ]

Atonement

Good morning my friends! Today we start a brief look at what the Scriptures tell us what the Atonement exhibits. [1] The mercy and grace of God! Romans 8:32; Eph.2:4-7;1Timothy 2:4; Hebrews 2:9. Hebrews 2:⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. [2] Atonement exhibits the love of God! Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:9-10.  Romans 5:⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [3] Atonement exhibits the love of Christ!  John 15:13;Gal.2:20; Eph.5:2,25; Rev.1:5. Gal.2:²⁰I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. [4] Atonement reconciles the justice and mercy of God! Isaiah 45:21; Romans 3:25-26. Romans 3:

²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

²⁶To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.   [ to be continued ]

Atonement

Good morning my dear friends! Today we are looking at verses about Christ’s effect on atonement. Our atonement was by Christ alone! John 1:29,36; Acts 4:10,12; 1 Thess.1:10; 1 Timothy 2:5-6:

 ⁵For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

⁶Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Hebrews 2:9–⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  1 Peter 2:24–²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. This atonement was voluntary!  Psalms 40:6-8; Hebrews 10:5-9; John 10:11,15,17-18. Psalm 40:6-8–

⁶Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

⁷Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

John 10: ¹¹I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Atonement

Hi and welcome to our brief study on what the Bible states about Atonement. Yesterday we looked at Atonement Explained, today we see what it states about Atonement For- ordained and foretold. Romans 3:25; 1 Peter 1:11,20; Rev.13:8.⁸And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rom.3:25–²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Atonement foretold– Isaiah 53:4-6–

⁴Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.  [ Isaiah 53:8-12; Dan.9:24-27; Zec.13:1,7; John 11:50-51 ]. John 11:50-51–

Atonement

Hi my friends, the last few days we looked briefly at assurance for the soul, now for the next few days we are going to look and see what the Bible says about how we have this assurance. This assurance is by atonement! The word atonement means to amend for injury or wrong; In Hebrew scripture it was man’s reconciliation with God after some sin. The redemptive life and death of Christ!

Atonement explained: Romans 5:8-11; 2 Co.5:18-19; Gal.1:4; 1 Jn..2:2; 4:10

1 John 4:10

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Romans 5:11. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Gal.1:4–⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? We have the Holy Spirits testimony for assurance. [ Romans 8:15-16 ]. When we are with Christ we have absolute assurance of eternal life! [ Romans 8:33-39; 2 Timothy 1:12 ]. Romans 8:38-39–

³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thoughts

What are thoughts? A thought is what goes on between our ears,

it may bring happiness, it may bring tears. There is an old saying,

man goes as he thinks. His thoughts can lead him either into a gutter or to lofty mountain

peaks. So let’s think good things and the happier we will be,

and keep our mind out of the gutter, that is no place for our thoughts to be.

Assurance for the Soul
