Dear All,
The Gospel is under attack today. Part of the true Gospel is a Biblical view and understanding of the Atonement. Please read the following article on different views of the Atonement which present a different "gospel" (1 Cor. 11:4).
In Christ,

FEATURE ARTICLE
The feature for this newsletter is The Atonement Wars - "There is no substitute for substitution" by Orrel Steinkamp, The Plumbline, Volume 13. No.2. May/June 2008. "Christ's death was 'penal' in that he bore a penalty when he died. His death was also a 'substitution' in that he was a substitute for us when he died. This has been the orthodox understanding of the atonement held by evangelicals theologians, in contrast to other views that attempt to explain the atonement apart from the idea of the wrath of God or payment for the penalty for sin. This PSA view is sometimes called the vicarious atonement A vicar is someone who stands in the place of another or who represents another. Christ's death was therefore 'vicarious' because he stood in our place and represented us. As our representative he took the penalty that we deserve." (Grudem, Bible Doctrine, p. 254)
Through the years I have been presented with many opportunities to forgive. Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took me some time to forgive and start the process of healing for myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a Christian needs to forgive other people even if they have not repented of their sins. That can be really hard if we let it be hard. But if we give our burdens over to the Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to treat other people with love, compassion, and be in the right frame of mind and heart to set them up for reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does not mean we tolerate their sin. We simply forgive them for what they have done to us, whether perceived or real, and move on to looking for ways to redeem them. We can then present to them the “truth in love” even when we have to rebuke them.
