  1. The Atonement The At-one-ment Man’s Fall from Grace The Way Back The Work of Christ The Effect of Christ’s Victory

  2. The Church can’t have it right! Atonement by substitution will not work! • Substitution requires Jesus to remain in the grave. • Substitution requires the innocent dying for the guilty. • Sin is forgiven not paid for! • Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. • ANSWER: Jesus destroyed the power of King Sin to rule over us.

  3. Man’s Fall from Grace! • The disastrous account of man’s fall from grace has brought MORTALITY, FEAR, TOIL, SORROW, DISTANCE & DEATH. • The effects of Adam’s sin upon humanity was that LIKE BEGETS LIKE, so Adam’s posterity inherited a DYING NATURE. • In addition, this nature is SIN prone leadingto“condemnation”.Our nature is our misfortune not our crime. • Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; … • Col. 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled:

  4. The Way Back: For this to be accomplished the way back must declare God’s righteousness. • Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (mercy seat) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; • Matthew 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

  5. The Way Back: • The law could cover but not take away sin. It was needed until the saviour would come. • Ex.30:16 And thou shalt take the atonement <3722> money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement <3722> for your souls. • 3722 kaphar {kaw-far'} (1) to cover … over with pitch. • The Law could cover as did the mercy seat but it had to be sprinkled with the blood (life work) of Christ. • Hebrews10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

  6. The Way Back: • Undoing what Adam did required a REDEEMER which would destroy the power of “king Sin”. • The power of King Sin is SIN = DEATH. -- To abrogate (annul) this curse causing condemnation involved the redeemer being tried and not sinning. • For this sinless one to reconcile his brethren, required not only the redeemer being made like his brethren but alsotried in all points.

  7. The Way Back: • Involved Jesus of his own free will carrying out God’s marvellous plan. • Jesus became the way back upon humbling himself, taking the form of a servant and accomplished all of God’s will, while manifesting God and declaring His righteousness even to death upon a stake. • The way back is now open, but this requires: • Identifying ourselves with Jesus (“in Christ” = baptism). Being “in Christ” there is forgiveness and at-one-ment. • Obeying the commandments, Jn. 14:23. • Abiding “in Christ”. • John 15:5-6 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abidenot in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

  8. Why was this required for our redemption? • Jesus was “wounded”, “bruised”, tried and crucified that he might redeem his brethren. • By what Jesus went through he could represent the worst of sinners. • Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruisedfor our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. HOW? • 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, (dead to the law of SIN = DEATH having hold on us) should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. • HOW? Jesus was tried in all points but didn’t sin. He therefore broke the curse “sin = death”.

  9. Jesus' death did what? • Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; • Jesus’ death destroyed the power of “King Sin” (Rm. 5:21 sin personified as the DEVIL)to reign over sinners causing eternal death. • Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. • “Because of Jesus’ accomplish-ment, King Sin no longer reigns over those “in Christ”. In its place “grace” now reigns.

  10. Christ’s death broke the law "sin = death". Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh( = Jesus inherited our sin pronednature),and for sin, condemned sin(=King Sin lost his power)in the flesh: • The amazing victory was condemning sin in sin’s arena, “in the flesh” and for Jesus to represent all --required Jesus being tried in all points like his brethren.

  11. The effect of Christ’s victory! • Col. 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence. • Jesus is the beginning of the new creation with the role now of head, high priest and mediator. • Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. • Jesus’ victory also includes his role as “high priest” and “mediator for all “in Christ”. The “new creation” inChrist!

  12. The effect of Christ’s Victory • Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. • Baptism puts one “in Christ Jesus”, that the condemnation from God’s decree sin = death no longer reigns!

  13. BAPTISM • UNITES BELIEVERS “IN CHRIST”. • FREES BELIEVERS FROM PASSED SINS. • ESSENTIAL TODAY FOR SALVATION. • REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING & BELIEF. • REQUIRES ACCEPTANCE/OBEDIENCE. • REQUIRES IMMERSION IN WATER. • WHAT HAVE WE MISSED? Gal. 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, (in Christ) then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

  14. Any difficulty with this definition of Baptism? • Baptism is an act of faith which unites the believer “in Christ”. Through a symbolic burial by immersion in water, the believer is identified with Jesus’ death and resurrection! • Baptism marks the end of the old undedicated life. It signifies a new life in Christ, with the privilege of being a son or daughter of God; and confers heir ship to eternal life in Christ’s kingdom when he returns.

  15. Baptism unites the believer“in Christ” • Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. • 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. • Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one bodyin Christ, and every one members one of another. John 15:1-10 - 7X “abide in the vine”

  16. Baptism identifies us “in Christ” and with his life, death and resurrection! • John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: • Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into JesusChristwere baptized into his death? • Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Life Death Resurrection

  17. BAPTISM GIVES A GOOD CONSCIENCE! • 1PE 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: • The blood of bulls and goats will not clear the conscience. Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to theconscience; • Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who … offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? • For a purge conscience we must understand what Jesus accomplished in his life, death and resurrection.

  18. A VALID BAPTISM REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING AND BELIEF! • Acts 8:5-12 -- Philip preached, the Samaritans believed. • Acts 8:30-38 - Philip preached, Ethiopian believed. • Acts 16:14-15- Lydia believed, then baptized. • Mark 16:16 - Believeth and is baptized • 4100 pisteuo {pist-yoo'-o} • from 4102; v AV -believe 239; 248 • 4102 pistis {pis'-tis} AV - faith 239; 244

  19. Why will this not work? • Sprinkling doesn’t bury one into Christ’s death nor does it do justice to the type. • Sprinkling doesn’t fit the meaning of the word baptism. • When God commands giving specific instructions, liberty isn’t then given to change those commands.

  20. BAPTISM -- REQUIRES FULL OBEDIENCE! • 2Kings 5:12-14 -- Naaman had to follow exactly even to the river and being immersed seven times. • Rom.6;3-5 “Buried with him by baptism into his death” (Sprinkling doesn’t bury!) Muddy Jordan

  21. BAPTISM REQUIRES IMMERSION IN WATER: • 908 "baptisma" - from 911, "bapto" a primary verb meaning to whelm, i.e. cover wholly with a fluid. • JOH 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there wasmuchwater there: and they came, and were baptized. • ACT 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? • ACT 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

  22. Obviously this not work but why? • Sprinkling isn’t baptism • No understanding • No belief • Free will is missing. • No change • No conscience • No commitment

  23. BAPTISM -- REQUIRES A TRUE AND HONEST ACCEPTANCE OF the GOSPEL: • Acts 2:37-41 --- Jews on day of Pentecost • Acts 8:12-13 --- Samaritans on the preaching of Philip • Acts 8:36-39 --- Ethiopian Eunuch • Acts 9:18 ------- Saul of Tarsus • Acts 10:47-48-- House of Cornelius • Acts 18:8 ------- Crispus, many Corinthians • 1Cor.1:16 ------ Household of Stephanus • 1Cor.1:14 ------ Gaius

  24. Why are you not baptized?

  25. Daniel 12:11 And from the time that thedaily sacrificeshall be taken away, and the abomination(Dome of the Rock) that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (=1290 years) • [12] Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days (= 1335 years). • Jerusalem captured by Nebuchadnezzar and it is thought in 598 BC the daily sacrifice was done away. • In 691 AD the Dome of the Rock was erected by Abd-Almalik which was 1290 years after 598 BC. (1290-598-1 = 691) • 1335 years from 691 AD = 2026 AD when the daily sacrifice will be re-institutedbeforeEzekiel’s temple is built. • 2026 -7 = 2019 – 10 = 2009 AD! • At least two big assumptions namely: 7 years to build Ezekiel’s temple and the daily sacrifice as before and not after this temple is built. (1Kings 6:38; Ezra 3:4,6)

  27. Nehemiah – Neh. 1-2; Ezra 1:1-7; 3:1-6; 4:1-6; 7:1-10, 25-28; 8:1, 21-23, 31-32 7. (1pts. T/F)The daily burnt-offerings were instituted even before the foundation of the temple was laid. • Answer: True • Ezra3:4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required; • Ezra3:6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
