The Importance of the Atonement

Let’s counter a commonly held belief of many Christians: God is wrathful and vengeful, requiring blood sacrifice, and only through the crucifixion are we forgiven. We unpack this theory and find that God’s primary response to our sin is not wrath or anger but forgiveness. The crucifixion is not about sacrifice but rather submitting to the will of God and showing obedience.
