Summary
The doctrine of the atonement is often twisted by false teachers and many Christians are not completely sure what the atonement of Christ is all about. Some preachers deny that God's wrath exists, preferring to proclaim a version of God who would never punish His Son to atone for sin. Others will sell the atonement as a "package deal," declaring that Jesus didn't merely die for your sins, but He died to make you happy, healthy, and wealthy too! The fact that the doctrine of the atonement is so frequently attacked by the Devil should make it of great interest to every Christian. Knowing this doctrine leads to hope, peace, and assurance about what Jesus has paid for, and what that means for you.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the For the Gospel Podcast. My name is Kosti Hin and I am your host. For the |
| 0:15.6 | gospel is all about providing sound doctrine for everyday people. And on this episode, I want |
| 0:21.9 | to talk to you about the doctrine of the atonement. The idea of atonement is one that is thrown |
| 0:27.7 | around a lot today in church circles and maybe you're new to church or new to Christianity or you've |
| 0:32.0 | been a professing Christian for a long time. You've probably heard the atonement in an Easter |
| 0:38.0 | sermon or a good Friday sermon in relation to Christ dying on the cross. But there's a lot of |
| 0:42.3 | confusion as well about the atonement. Some people will say, Jesus died for your sins and you receive |
| 0:47.5 | salvation by faith, which is true. They'll also say, hey, he didn't just pay for your sin, |
| 0:53.9 | he paid for your sickness. He atoned for that cancer. He atoned for your poverty and you can |
| 1:00.6 | receive healing and you could receive riches if you just believe by faith as well. And the atonement |
| 1:06.3 | gets stamped on a lot of things. Now, there are some truths that we want to talk about in relation |
| 1:10.8 | to healing and in relation to the blessings of God through the atonement. And we'll get to those |
| 1:15.4 | shortly. But I think it's important for us to understand what the idea of atonement is all about. |
| 1:22.3 | I want to read you a passage where we see the atonement very clear in scripture. It's first John |
| 1:27.3 | chapter 2 verses 1 and 2. John writes, my little children, I'm writing these things to you |
| 1:33.6 | so that you don't sin. And if anyone sins, because he knows that people are going to sin, |
| 1:38.8 | we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And then he calls Jesus |
| 1:43.6 | something in verse 2. He himself, first John 2 verse 2, is the propitiation for our sins, |
| 1:51.3 | not only for ours only, but also those of the whole world or the cosmos. And basically, |
| 1:56.8 | what John is saying is that Jesus is the atonement, the propitiation. That's what the Greek word |
| 2:03.5 | is translated as atonement. And the word defines that which appeases anger. If you look up the word |
| 2:11.7 | atonement, it means that there has been an act which has brought about reconciliation with someone |
