Atonement

Scripture's presentation of the gospel message is intrinsically disagreeable. It does not initially soothe man or comfort him or reassure him in his path, but violently opposes the anthropocentric conditioning of his mind, which is universally bound in slavery to the sinful nature. Where divine truth grapples with human deceit, the natural instinct of conservation within man causes him to hide behind his misconception of self-sufficiency, self-congratulatory achievement and pseudo-religiosity in order to protect and preserve against the divine charge. The Word of God and the mind of man are diametrically opposed and only the Spirit of God can unite them by imparting faith. In much the same way, God's holiness and man's unrighteousness can only be bridged by the central theme of this work: the atonement of God's Son, Jesus Christ. --Provided by publisher.
