All of us are ashamed of sins in our past, and maybe that shame is leading you to think that

you can never be forgiven. Aaron Davis has something important to say to you.

You are not the one person the cross is not big enough for. You're not the one woman in the

crowd on the day of atonement that cannot be at one with God.

You are the recipient of over-the-top, elaborate, permanent grace.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned. For February 25th,

2021, I'm Dana Gresh. There's some really important words in the Christian vocabulary that are crucial to our faith.

Sometimes they're words we don't use very much in normal language, and I think sometimes we just trip over them, or we just ignore them, or we think, well, everybody else understands what they mean, but we don't stop to think about what they really mean and why they're so

important as they explain foundational doctrines of our Christian faith. And we're going to talk about

one of those words today, the word, Atonement. You've probably heard it if you've read the Old

Testament or the New Testament. If you've read through the Bible, you've seen this word, but have you

ever stopped to think what is it really mean and why is it so important to my relationship with Christ?

We're going to hear more about that today. I think when we started this series on the seven feasts,

Aaron, people might have wondered, how can you spend a week and a half talking about some feasts in the book of Leviticus?

Did you ever have that thought yourself when you were starting into this?

Well, now I hope they're thinking I could spend months thinking about the feasts in Leviticus,

but certainly when I started to explore the feasts, on the surface level, it does seem like

something. You could just skip over and go right along with your

Bible reading plan. But they're so, so rich. So rich and so vital to our faith. So today we're going to

talk about, again, one of the most important doctrines of the Christian life. If we don't get this,

we're going to miss so much more about our faith. So let's just pray

that the Lord will open our ears and our hearts. Lord, thank you for the wonder of your word.
