Substitutionary atonement is the biblical view that Scripture asserts concerning how man is saved from death and brought to life. To deny substitutionary atonement is to disregard what the Scriptures teach concerning redemption. The Old Testament describes the sacrificial system which was a shadow of what was to come in Christ (cf. Hebrews 10:1-4). Leviticus 16 describes the Day of Atonement, in which several animals had their blood shed in order to atone for the sins of the people. In other words, people were justified because they believed God’s promise that in the future there would be One who would be the final sacrifice for sins. The Old Testament clearly describes that the substation for their sins was of central importance. The Old Testament also teaches that the sins of people were transferred to a scapegoat, and then the goat would go out into the wilderness carrying the sins of the people away. The scapegoat represents Christ, who is the Lamb of God that took our guilt and sin upon Himself. He became the One who died in the place of …show more content…
One of the most prominent that has been mentioned is Isaiah 53. “All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him;” he “was numbered with the transgressors; yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors” (v. 12b). When John the Baptist saw Jesus, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Paul said, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21; cf. 2 Peter 2:21). These passages explain that Jesus became a substitute for sinners. Our sins were transferred to Christ as He bore them as our substitute. Therefore, the doctrine of substitutionary atonement from the Scriptures is unmistakably

Christian Response: Salvation, according to the Bible, is due to God’s grace and love. He provided Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. It’s through faith in the crucified and risen Jesus that we may be saved. Works are excluded (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).
Moving Forward Your parents are still mad at you because of that one time you pooped in the bathtub when you were a toddler. This obviously doesn’t happen because, as they have done countless times, your parents forgive you. The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, depicts how by forgiving someone’s faults, one’s relationship with them can overcome the error and move on to flourish into something better. Miller shows the importance of forgiveness and how it removes the chains of resentment and spite through the characters of the play such as: Elizabeth truly forgiving Proctor, Mary-afraid of not being forgiven-lies to the court, and John Proctor forgiving himself for not being a good man. would’ve
Ultimately, the order supports a compensation retributive model in America’s court system. A similar spiritual comparison is stated in one of the most popular verses in the Christian faith. In John 3:16 it says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Due to our sinful nature, it was required for God to send his one and only son as a compensatory to relinquish us from our sin.

Everyone makes mistakes, commits sins or does some bad deeds. As time goes by, one is unable to live with all the guilt from these sins and mistakes. One regrets it, repents it and does all sorts of things to make it right. Ultimately one only looks for ways to forgive oneself and this requires the atonement of past sins. Atonement in real life refers to the actions of making amends for a wrong or an injury.

In the novel, “Sula”, author Toni Morrison addresses a series of obstacles faced by individuals who find themselves entrenched within marginalised societies. Morrison’s writing style differs from most other authors in the sense that it sheds light on imperative issues that would otherwise remain concealed; issues such as internecine racism, patriarchy and scapegoating within the African-American context. In “Sula”, Morrison introduces the question: What is the relationship between the individual and the community? She manages to do so by describing the conflict that exist between the Sula Peace and her local community. As a consequence of this conflict Sula, one of the main protagonists in the novel, becomes the scapegoat of her community.

Christianity explains salvation as redemption by God’s grace through faith from unrighteousness and sins to Cleanliness, also known as Salvation. The Bible explores salvation in different perspectives including reconciliation, redemption, ransom, forgiveness, and justification. Even though the Bible is a unitary book, the new and the old testaments present salvation in different aspects. However, the different aspects are complementary. In fact, the Old Testament presents many prophesies about salvation that was fulfilled in the New Testament (Kärkkäinen 87).
