The document discusses the theological concept of the atonement - what happened when Jesus died on the cross. It describes several key aspects:
1) Christ's vicarious death - Jesus substituted himself for humanity and bore the punishment for our sins, satisfying God and reconciling humanity to God.
2) Propitiation - Jesus' death satisfied God's wrath and anger towards sin, regaining God's favor.
3) Imputation - Through faith, God imputes Christ's righteousness to believers and takes away their guilt, forming an intimate union between them.
The document provides biblical support for these concepts and addresses objections, highlighting what each aspect teaches about God's character - his sovereignty, love, hol

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Christ’s Vicarious
or Substitutionary Death
• Also referred to as the Penal Satisfaction or
Penal Substitution Theory
• Description:
• Christ, by offering Himself as a sacrifice, by
substituting Himself for us, and actually
bearing the punishment which should have
been ours, satisfied the Father and effected a
reconciliation between God and man.
3. Biblical Substantiation
• The lexical argument is based on the words
rendered “to propitiate” or “propitiation” in
four (4) crucial passages describing the
death of Christ.
• These words are in the word group that
relates to the Hebrew kippur (hilasmos—
meaning mercy seat, covering).
4. (1) Romans 3:25
• whom God displayed publicly as a
propitiation by His blood, through faith.
This was to demonstrate His
righteousness, because in the forbearance
of God He passed over the sins previously
committed.
5. (2) Hebrews 2:17
• Therefore, he had to be made like his
brethren in all things, that He might
become a merciful and faithful high priest
in things pertaining to God, to make
propitiation for the sins of the people.
6. (3) 1 John 2:2
• and He Himself is the propitiation for our
sins; and not for ours only, but also for
those of the whole world.
7. (4) 1 John 4:10
• In this is love, not that we loved God, but
that He loved us and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.
8. The “Necessity” of the
Atonement
• Explained:
• God cannot merely overlook man’s sin,
nor can he just forgive man without
requiring that payment be made or
punishment be given for sin. In this
sense, the atonement is necessary for man
to be made right with his creator.
9. Scriptural Support
• Hebrews 9:22:
• And according to the law almost all things
are purified (cleansed) with blood, and
without shedding of blood there is no
remission (forgiveness).
10. Objection:
• Why does God not simply forgive us as an
act of good will instead of requiring a
payment?
11. Response:
• Even if God could overlook sin against
Himself as an act of good will, He is still
bound by nature to preserve justice in the
universe.
• To ignore sin would destroy the
meaningfulness of the concept of justice .
. .
12. Furthermore:
• Humans may simply forgive other humans
as an act of good will because we are
imperfect and in desperate need of
forgiveness ourselves. But God is perfect
and does not need forgiveness.
• Consequently, the parallel between man’s
and God’s forgiveness breaks down.
13. What this Teaches us about
God’s Character:
• The “necessity” of the atonement
emphasizes God’s sovereignty and
position of official administrator of the
judicial system of the universe.
14. The “Substitutionary” Nature of
the Atonement
• Explained:
• The normal meaning of the word is to be
taken into context. It simply means that
the atonement is a sacrifice offered in the
place of the sinner. Thus the sacrifice
bears the sinner’s guilt.
15. Scriptural Support:
• Galatians 3:13:
• Christ has redeemed us from the curse of
the law, having become a curse for us (for
it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who
hangs on a tree’).
16. Objection:
• Is it not improper and unjust to penalize
an innocent party?
17. Response:
• The answer to this question is yes unless
the innocent party receives the penalty
voluntarily and the judge is inseparable
from the innocent party.
• Jesus meets both of these requirements
(John 10:17-18)
18. What this Teaches us about
God’s Character
• “Substitution” emphasizes God’s love for
His creation. He defines love by His
nature. Real love always demands a
personal sacrifice.
19. “Propitiation”
• Explained:
• To regain favor or appease God. To
satisfy His demands and thereby divert
His anger.
• Man’s sin does not just make God sad, it
makes Him angry. His anger, or wrath,
can be satisfied only by the execution of
His justice. His judicial system cannot be
short-circuited.
20. Scriptural Support:
• Romans 8-9:
• But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more
then, having been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through
Him.
21. Objection:
• Doesn’t the appeasement of the Father by
the Son reveal conflict within the
Godhead?
22. Response:
• The answer to this question may be put in
the form of another question:
• Can a person be angry and loving at the
same time?
• Any parent knows the answer is yes. The
Father was angry over the world’s sin, but
he loved the world so much . . .
23. • . . . that he sent his Son to atone for the sin
of man. Thus the Father did not change
from an angry God to a loving God when
Christ died on the cross.
• God’s love was there all the time and was
in fact the motivation for the atonement.
His holiness demanded a payment for sin.
His love provided the payment.
24. What this Teaches us about
God’s Character
• “Propitiation” emphasizes God’s absolute
holiness and justifiable anger over sin. He
deserves respect and absolute obedience
and vents his wrath on ungodliness.
25. “Imputation”
• Explained:
• While substitution and propitiation have
to do with negative aspects of the
atonement (what God has taken away
from us), imputation has to do with the
positive aspect of the atonement (what
God has given to us).
• God has taken away the guilt of believers,
but he has also imputed to them the
righteousness of Christ.
26. Scriptural Support:
• 2 Corinthians 5:21
• For He made Him who knew no sin to be
sin for us, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.
28. Response:
• This question is the other side of the
objection to substitution. It doesn’t seem
fair that an innocent party is punished and
likewise, it doesn’t seem fair that a guilty
party is rewarded, yet that is what happens
in the atonement . . .
29. • . . . The reason that God sees this
transaction as absolutely just is that when
we put our faith in Him, we become
united with Christ.
• In a sense, we become married,
inseparable, so that it is not a transfer of
righteousness as much as it is holding it in
common. It is shared.
30. What this Teaches us about
God’s Character
• “Imputation: emphasizes God’s desire for
intimate fellowship with His creation.
Because of the atonement we are heirs of
the Father and joint-heirs with the Son.
31. Abraham and Isaac
“The LORD will provide”
John the Baptist
“Behold the lamb, which takes
away the sin of the world.”
32. The Sinner’s Substitute
• Barabbas:
“Father’s son”
• Fallen son of Adam
• Malefactor
• Deserved to be
punished
• Allowed to go free
• Jesus: “Savior”
• Faithful Son of God
• “Went about doing
good” (Acts 10:38)
• Innocent
• Nailed to the cross
prepared for Barabbas
33. Jesus was not only the substitute
for Barabbas, He endured the
cross as our substitute too.
