To recap, penal substitutionary atonement is a fancy theological term that answers the question, "What did Jesus do by dying on the cross?" The word penal tells us that His death on the cross was the just penalty for the crime of sin. The word substitutionary tells us that His death was actually paying the penalty for our crimes and sins. Jesus traded places with us sinners. Today's video will focus on the word atonement.
Before you hear what I have to say, take a look at these passages from God's Word.
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. -- 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. -- 1 John 1:7
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished -- Romans 3:25
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. -- 1 John 4:10
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. -- Romans 8:1-2
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, -- Colossians 2:13
He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will -- Ephesians 1:5
I hope that these videos are helping you see what Jesus has done for us on the cross. Next Thursday I will put up the last video which will focus on how we can share this gospel with others. As always, let me know if you have questions or comments!
