What does the Bible say about the importance of purity in the doctrine of the atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that the purity of the atonement is central to salvation, reflecting God's holiness and grace.

The doctrine of the atonement holds a central place in Reformed theology, highlighting the importance of purity in understanding God's grace and the work of Christ. Scripture indicates that God's provision for atonement must remain uncorrupted; for example, Exodus 34:25 states, 'Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven,' illustrating that a corrupting influence cannot accompany the pure sacrifice of Christ. Furthermore, the purity of this doctrine reassures believers of their salvation, as seen in the parable of Noah, where the pitch used to seal the ark signifies God's atonement, ensuring eternal security from His wrath against sin.
