What does the Bible say about the atoning death of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The atoning death of Christ is central to Scripture, emphasizing that without His sacrifice, there is no remission of sin.

The atoning death of Christ is the cardinal truth of the Christian faith, embodying the essence of the gospel. In Matthew 26, Jesus emphasizes His impending crucifixion, which He presents as a necessary precondition for His reign. The atonement is the definitive fulfillment of all Old Testament sacrifices, as it is through His blood that believers are cleansed from sin. Without His death, the Christian faith lacks its foundation, as stated in Hebrews 9:22, 'Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.' This truth is reiterated throughout the New Testament, underscoring the necessity of Christ's sacrifice for our salvation.
