Christ’s vicarious, substitutionary atonement is the central event of history and the foundation for God’s eternal salvation and the new creation of which Christ is the Head. Christ is the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Re. 13:8). His atonement is emphasized throughout the New Testament Epistles. It is “vicarious” meaning Christ suffered vicariously for the sinner, suffered in the sinner’s place. It is “penal substitutionary atonement.” “Penal” refers to punishment required by the law. Christ made the full payment that God’s holy law demands. Any other doctrine of atonement is a false gospel.
