Bible Lesson 10/16/16

BIBLE, ATONEMENT, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Doctrine of Atonement:

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1).

unity--Atonement is the exemplification of man's unity with God. . . .  What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds (Eddy, 1906, pp. 18, 4).

Christ Jesus--Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, . . . that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? (Isaiah 51).  The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinners part (Eddy, 1906, p. 23).

crucifixion--The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners (Matthew 26).

resurrection--God hath quickened us together with Christ (Ephesians 2).

life-practice--The scientific unity which exists between God and man must be wrought out in life-practice, and God's will must be universally done (Eddy, 1906, p. 202).
