Atonement

Making at one, reconciliation. Man, finding himself spiritually estranged from God, inquires for a means of this. Scripture, while allowing sacrificial atonement in an cient times, declares that a heart surrendered to God is the acceptable sacrifice. As the life, death, resurrection, and interce ion of Jesus Christ are the perfect means of closing the chasm between Man and his Maker, He is declared to be our final atonement or propitiation.
