The Biblical Doctrine of Atonement (Systematic Theology Part 7)

Today we're discussing part 7 in our 12-week Systematic Theology series with hosts Bryan Dwyer and Ross Anderson. Our focus today is on the Atonement. When humanity rebelled against God, God’s love compelled him to act on our behalf to restore the relationship broken by sin. He did this by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to make atonement.

The word “atonement” originally meant “at-one-ment” - or being in harmony with someone. In Bible translations, the word captures a multi-faceted concept reflecting several key biblical words. At its heart is the idea that human beings can be reconciled to God through the sacrificial suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
