What The Bible Says.
Fortnightly bible study.
Episode 50 - 29/03/24
This week we look at what the bible says about the atonement. What is it and what does it mean to us?
Origin of the Term "Atonement": The term "atonement" is a 16th-century English creation, combining "at one" to convey the idea of reconciliation or being "at one" with someone. It was first used in the English Bible translation by William Tyndale.
Frequency and Context in the Bible: The word "atonement" appears often in the Old Testament but less frequently in the New Testament. In Hebrew, the term encompasses meanings such as reconciliation, forgiveness, and covering for sin.
Biblical Example - Exodus 32: In Exodus 32:30-35, Moses offers to make atonement for Israel’s sin of worshiping a golden calf. Despite his willingness, the people's sin results in a plague, indicating that the atonement was not fully achieved as there was no genuine repentance.
Levitical Offerings: Leviticus 1:5 describes a formal process for making atonement through burnt offerings. This ritual involves an unblemished male animal, symbolizing substitutionary atonement, where the animal's death represents the death due to sin.
Personal Responsibility and Symbolism: The process emphasizes personal responsibility, with the individual offering the sacrifice themselves, highlighting the personal nature of atonement. The shedding of the animal’s blood underscores the serious cost of sin, reflecting the necessity for Jesus' sacrificial death.
