Chris.
Through
Faith we can receive the Life giving Sacrifice of Atonement. I have read
several times that the word atonement is like ‘at one ment’. This means that
through what Christ has done for us we are brought into the Presence of God
free from shame, free from fear and free to Praise Him. Through what Christ has
done for us at the Cross we can truly receive New Life.
