Atonement. At-One-Ment.
A key Scriptural term, Christians have always used the word "atonement" to describe the reconciliation between God and man, a reconciliation made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Many down throughout the centuries have argued for different meanings of the term atonement, suggesting that atonement came through Christ's good example, or His satisfaction of God's honour, rather than His substitutionary death on the cross.
This meeting will examine those views, with a particular regard to what the Scripture says on this important topic. All welcome with discussion after the presentation!
"We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." (Romans 5:11)
