Christ's Atonement2
The Service of the Tabernacle
By Robert Murray M'Cheyne0HEB 9:6Robert Murray M'Cheyne emphasizes the significance of the Tabernacle's service, illustrating how the priests performed their duties in the holy place and how the high priest entered the holiest of all once a year with blood for atonement. He draws parallels between the Old Testament practices and Christ's ultimate sacrifice, highlighting that the way into the presence of God was not fully revealed until Christ's death. M'Cheyne urges believers to recognize the daily ministry of Christ in their lives and the necessity of His blood for salvation. He warns against neglecting the great salvation offered through Christ, stressing the importance of being taught by the Holy Spirit.
The Doctrine of Justification 4. Its Basis
By A.W. Pink0ISA 53:6JER 23:6LUK 15:22JHN 8:7ROM 3:22ROM 4:62CO 5:21GAL 3:13GAL 4:4REV 21:27A.W. Pink addresses the profound issue of justification, emphasizing that a holy God cannot simply overlook sin. He explains that salvation cannot be achieved through personal works or mere mercy, as both justice and mercy must be satisfied. Pink highlights that Christ's atonement is the basis for justification, where our sins are imputed to Him, and His righteousness is imputed to us. This divine exchange allows believers to stand justified before God, not through their own merit but through Christ's perfect obedience. Ultimately, Pink asserts that understanding this doctrine is crucial for peace and assurance in the believer's relationship with God.
