THE PERFECT ATONEMENT

KO E FEILAULAU HAOHAOA

HEBREWS 10:10

By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.

HEPELU 10:10

Pea ‘i he tu‘utu‘uni ko ia kuo ‘osi tapui kitautolu, ko e me‘a ‘i he ‘oatu ‘o e sino ‘o Kalaisi ke tātu‘otaha pē.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

The doctrine for which we contend is that Christ hath so perfectly satisfied divine justice for all our sins, by one offering of Himself; and not only for our guilt, but also for both temporal and eternal punishment, that henceforth there are no more propitiatory offerings to be made for sin; and that though, for the promotion of their penitence and sanctification, God often chastises His people, yet no satisfaction is to be made by them either in this or a future state of existence.

Such is the perfection of the Atonement that it corresponds to the justice of God revealed in the Word, to the demands of the Law, and to the miseries and necessities of those for whom it was made. Had it been in its own nature deficient, and derived its sufficiency only from God's acceptance of it through mere grace, then the victims under the Law might have possessed equal efficacy in making atonement for sin. Its perfection is derived from its own intrinsic fullness of merit.
