Atonement

We believe that Jesus Christ, by His sufferings, by the shedding of His own blood, and by His death on the Cross, made a full atonement for all human sin, and that this Atonement is the only ground of salvation, and that it is sufficient for every individual of Adam’s race. The Atonement is graciously efficacious for the salvation of those incapable of moral responsibility and for the children in innocency but is efficacious for the salvation of those who reach the age of responsibility only when they repent and believe.

Salvation is the complete process by which God redeems his creation. The Bible tells the many ways God acted to bring salvation to his world. Salvation is the love of God at work in the world. God completed his work of salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ. Full reconciliation with God is possible through Christ, who sets people free from sin.
