ATONEMENT BY CHRIST ALONE

The Bible tells us we are atoned by the the work and sacrifice of Christ on the CROSS AT CALVARY. Some folk try to find atonement by other means but we are told by God’s word that it is through Christ alone. Today I share the following verses with you telling us that truth.
