Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Rom 5:11)  “And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”  Day of Atonement: the High Priest was said to bear upon himself the iniquity of the people. It was then, once a year, he came bearing the blood of sacrifice to put upon the mercy seat. That blood brought reconciliation between God and the people, appeasing the wrath of God over their sin. This, Jesus did for those who would turn from their sin and ask forgiveness of their sins, receiving the Gift of Everlasting Life. We….have received the atonement.
