The Atonement

The Atonement can be defined as that work of God (man enjoys the benefits of the Atonement but cannot do anything about entering into that Atonement except as God specifies) where the offense of sin is removed from between the holy God and sinful man.

While the Atonement concept is a general work of God, the specifics of the Christ-Messiah-Savior executing that specific word of God is on the Cross. So see the Cross reference page for works that are more specific to the actual events that were the specific focus of God’s Atonement.
