About This Book

The sermon offers an Anglican exposition of Christ's atonement, presenting its purpose as reconciling God to sinners and as a sacrifice for both original and actual sin. Drawing on scripture, the preacher examines the end, the plan, and principal characteristics of the work, highlights human alienation and the witness of conscience, and calls for the Holy Spirit's guidance in understanding. The argument links doctrinal explanation with pastoral appeal, explaining how the atonement secures salvation and assurance, and urging faith, repentance, and reliance on Christ's finished work as the basis of Christian hope.
