Atonement in Christian Theology
Atonement refers to the reconciliation between God and humanity made possible through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Christ bore the penalty for human sin, satisfying divine justice and opening the way to God. The cross stands at the center of Christian theology, worship, and hope.
