Atonement


As I meditated how the apostle Paul said, “God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood” (Romans 3:25a, BSB), I am being reminded of how the heart of atonement is found through Jesus Christ who sacrificed Himself up on the cross for our sins. Indeed, I read how the apostle John assured the believers to know how Jesus had atoned’ the sins of all people for the sins that they had committed (1 John 2:2, NIV). Truly, Herbert Spencer said, “The task of religion is atonement” to know how the vitality and irretrievably may fail if one fails to bring men and women into correspondence with God, like how one theologian puts it: “It is a task worthy of God” as they pointed out inside the Every Day Light online devotional text. As such, I thank Jesus for being my Saviour who has not only died for my sins but the sins of the world and that through Jesus I am thankful that I have eternal life through Him. And, this prompts me to deliver men and women from evil and know how God has claimed His deepest love for their lives and that He provides them with His salvation.

Hence, this prompts me to thank Jesus that He has reconciled the world and ourselves back to God through the message of the cross (2 Corinthians 5:19, NIV) as I did my today’s reading.

Do you know of anyone who doesn’t know Jesus yet and needs reconciliation today?
