The True Meaning of Atonement

For centuries, Christians have been told that the “atonement” meant Jesus paid a debt to an angry God through His death on the cross. Yet the true meaning is something far deeper and more beautiful.

The real atonement, the word itself meaning at one ment, is not about blood or sacrifice. It is about the soul becoming one with the Father through the inflowing of His Love. No price was ever demanded. No wrath had to be appeased. God has always loved His children. What separated us from Him was not His anger but our lack of harmony with His Love.

God’s Love for the world is so great that He sent His son to lead us home by example, through prayer and sincere communion with the Father, and through his own transformation by the Father’s Love.

Through prayer and longing for that Love, we open our hearts to the same transforming Power that Jesus received in full measure. It is this Love that purifies, heals, and makes the soul divine, not belief in a crucifixion but direct communion with the living God.

When we let this Love enter, we no longer need to feel distant, guilty, or afraid. We become part of that great harmony that Jesus came to show and that our Father still offers freely to every soul who sincerely asks.
