What does scripture say about Jesus' atonement for sins?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that Jesus’ atonement was definitive and effective for the salvation of His people.

The significance of Christ’s atonement is rooted in the belief of particular redemption, where Jesus died specifically for His elect, as affirmed in John 10:15, 'I lay down my life for the sheep.' This atonement is not a mere possibility but a real and effective sacrifice for sin, as stated in Romans 4:25: 'He was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.' The certainty of His atoning work provides assurance to believers that they are justified and reconciled to God through faith. Thus, the atonement stands as a pivotal doctrine showing the depth of God's grace towards His chosen ones.
