The sacrifice under the old covenant on the Day of Atonement was a type. A type means it was “as if” the sins of the people were put on the goat. A shadow means God treated the goat “as if” he were sin. A picture means God regarded the sacrifice “as if” sin had been […]

Atonement defined

Atonement defined Atonement is the result of Christ’s work of making his people holy and without sin so that we are made one with God. Some have hyphenated the word to show the meaning in the spelling of the word itself: “At-one-ment.” God is holy. God’s elect are sinners. Before God will accept a sinner […]

Acts 18:10 This should be a great encouragement to evangelize—since God has among the vilest of the vile, the most reprobate, the most debauched and drunken—an elect people who must be saved. When you take the Word to them, you do so because God has ordained you to be the messenger of life to their […]

The Day of Atonement

Posted by admin on July 13, 2011 at 7:50 am

The day of atonement foreshadowed, in type, the sin-atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ for God’s true Israel. The chapter begins “And the LORD spake unto Moses.” In order for sinners to approach God in his Way, the LORD must speak into the heart he has made new. God teaches his children what he […]

Effectual Atonement Isaiah 53:10-12 What happened at Calvary? Did the Lord Jesus Christ redeem His people from all iniquity; or did he merely make them redeemable? Did He actually put away our sins; or did He merely make it possible for our sins to be put away? Did the Lamb of God reconcile us to […]

Gospel Distinctives by Don Fortner. I know that the things we believe and preach, place us in direct conflict with the religious world around us. That really shouldn’t surprise us. When our Lord Jesus told the religious leaders of his day the things I am about to tell you, they started grabbing rocks to stone […]

The Union Of Christ And His People

It often happens, in the Psalms, that you can scarcely tell whether it is David, or the Lord Jesus, or both of them, to whom the writer is referring. Oftentimes you lose sight of David altogether, and are quiet certain that he is not there; while, at other times, the words seem equally suited either to David as the type, or to Jesus as the antitype. I think that this fact is very instructive to us. It is as the Holy Ghost intended, even in those ancient times, to let God’s saints know that there is a mysterious union between Christ and His people, so that almost all things which may be said concerning Him may be said, also, concerning those who are in Him. They are so completely one, they are so intimately united in bonds of mystic, vital, conjugal, eternal union, that it would not be possible always to keep the sayings concerning them apart. — Charles Spurgeon

Because He loved her – Octavius Winslow

Jesus sustains no association to His Church more expressive than that of the marriage relationship. From all eternity He forever betrothed her to Himself. He asked her at the hands of her Father—and the Father gave her to Him. He entered into a covenant that she would be His. The conditions of that covenant were great, but not too great for His love to undertake. They were, that He should assume her nature, discharge her legal obligations, endure her punishment, repair her ruin, and bring her to glory! He undertook all, and He accomplished all, because He loved her! The love of Jesus to His Church is the love of the most tender husband. It is single, constant, affectionate, matchless, wonderful. Jesus sympathizes with her, nourishes her, provides for her, clothes her, watches over, and indulges her with the most intimate and endearing tenderness.
