Christians often say, “Jesus paid the penalty for my sin”.
But we will be hard pressed to find that declaration in the Bible. Is such a declaration
biblical, or does it stem from the traditions of men?
In this episode Kevin George, author of Atonement and Reconciliation: A Search for the Original Meaning, Contrasted with Penal Substitutionary Atonement,explains
what Penal Substitution Atonement is and then some of the problems with Penal Substitutionary Atonement.
George explains how the focus of atonement is a restored relationship between God and humans based on a covenant made by God through Jesus, not on a legal substitutionary payment. The covenant is a blood covenant (proving loyalty to death) for the release of sins, not a “blood payment”.
If salvation is a gift of God, why did Jesus or anyone else have to pay for it?
Did God clear the guilty by accepting a payment from someone else? Is that a bribe?
