     Atonement is defined by the dictionary as satisfaction or reparation for a wrong or injury.  In the archaic sense it means reconciliation or agreement.  We have received atonement through the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:11).  The wages of sin is death.  This price has been paid by Jesus on the cross.  His death reconciled us with God.  The books have been balanced not through anything we have done but through The Atonement.  It is His death that provides the gift.
