The origin of the atonement

ORDAINED IN HEAVEN

• Rev. 13:8 “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
• 1 Peter 1:19-20 “Blood of Christ...foreordained before the foundation of the world.“

In the plan and mind of God Calvary was from the very beginning.

INSTITUTED ON EARTH

Genesis 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them.“

When God clothed Adam and Eve blood was shed. This was the beginning of the crimson line of sacrifice that runs through the entire Bible.
