Atonement

The shedding of Jesus Christ’s blood on the Cross was a factor in order for us to receive forgiveness for our sins and acceptance into the presence of God...”without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Heb 9:22)

“For the life of a creature is in the blood and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves...it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life” (Lev 17:11).

When we sin, we earn death.  “The wages of sin is death” (Rom 6:23).  Jesus paid the penalty for us by shedding His blood (dying for us – in our place).

Atonement means to be made AT ONE with God.  Jesus gave His life on the Cross for our AT ONE MENT (atonement).  This made it possible for us to be AT-ONE with God.  We are no longer His enemy but His friends, His sons and daughters.  By faith we accept what He did for us.

Freedom Through The Cross

Freedom From Past Sins

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36)

Freedom From Present Sins

“For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace” (Rom 6:14)

Freedom From Sickness

“This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases” (Matt 8:17)

Freedom Through The Cross

Jesus’ death on the Cross was a great victory for us.  Because God dealt with our sin on the Cross, it means also that all the misery and suffering which is a result of sin was also dealt with.

The Cross has won great freedom for us!

“And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them by the Cross” (Col 2:15)
