The necessity of the atonement

The meaning of the word “Efficacious” is “producing or sure to produce a desired result”.

What does the atonement produce?

Pardon of transgressions

• John 1:29
• Ephesians 1:7
• Revelation 1:5
• John 5:24
• Hebrews 9:22-28

Freedom from sin

 Not only free from the guilt of sin but also free from the power of sin – Romans 6:14.

Deliverance from death

Death is the result of sin.

• Hebrews 2:9 “that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
• John 11:26 “Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”

Gift of Everlasting Life

• John 3:14-16 “… should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Victorious Life

Christ conquered Satan on our behalf. Christians have the
VICTORY over the devil as long as they have the VICTOR over
the devil.
