Christ's Atoning Death
Christ’s atoning death is the heartbeat of the Christian faith, leading to the resurrection. As the Apostle Paul states in I Corinthians 15:3: “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” And it’s because of Christ’s death and resurrection that salvation is made possible for all who believe. This makes the atoning death of Jesus central to the Christian faith. Because Christ sacrificially atoned for human sin on the cross, Jesus died for the unjust—that’s you and me, enabling God to be the Perfect Sacrifice for salvation.
