THE ATONEMENT

It may very well be that the atonement is the forgotten doctrine of our age. We forget it at our peril. It is a corrective to so much of the syncretistic, new age Christianity that circulates today which never acknowledges our sin problem and God unfathomable grace that saves us. Jesus, the sinless one, did not come to die with us, but for us. He accomplishment on the cross will stand for eternity. And those who come to him by faith are irrevocably, and eternally justified by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, God in the flesh. We stand before God, redeemed because of this act of sacrifice on the cross. The atonement gives us true freedom and it gives us hope

CHRISTIANS HAVE MADE LIFE CHEAP

The reader may ask, why do you think all of these are connected. The answer is very simple. Each one violates the Imago Dei, the Image of God in which we are all made. The image includes being made male and female. It means we all have infinite value because we share a subset of substance with God, which is the image of God that resides in us and in no other creature. We are unique and we belong to God.
