The vicarious atonement of Christ means Jesus stood in our place through His perfect life and sacrificial death. On the cross, He bore the punishment our sins deserved and fulfilled the righteousness God required. Central to the gospel, His righteousness is imputed to us, our guilt to Him (2 Cor. 5:21); our salvation rests in His finished work alone.
