More thoughts about Atonement

The atonement basically means whoever Believe in Christ will not perish and those who do not believe in Christ will NOT get the benefit of Christ's atonement. Nothing about physical healing right away. This talks about eternal life (with your new body of course). Spiritual is the key for atonement. Not temporal healing. Romans 3:25-26 "God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— He did it to demonstrate His justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus." History and the daily newspaper testify to our physical temporal lives. The long parade of doctrines have been teaching that guaranteed physical healing will happen today as long as you have faith that God requires. The requirement is merit rather than grace. Such doctrines are vain and meaningless that got into our Christian communities. The reality is this while our disease, old age and death testify sadly that our physical bodies are decaying every day. Our bodies will go back to dust while our spirits will live on eternally (life or death). Human exteriors cultural, physical, economic are extremely deceptive. It is the heart that counts. Whether or not Christ is enthroned in the heart determines the spiritual value of a person. A.W. Tozer
