Over the next couple of days I will be sharing some of my favorite quotes from others on the atonement. This will finally conclude my Atonement series. We begin today with Dr. Wayne Grudem:

“ . . . there is an eternal, unchangeable requirement in the holiness and justice of God that sin be paid for. Furthermore, before the atonement ever could have an effect on our subjective consciousness, it first had an effect on God and his relation to the sinners he planned to redeem. Apart from this central truth, the death of Christ really cannot be adequately understood.”
