Atonement

What is atonement?

Below is a dictionaries answer.

Religious concept in which obstacles to reconciliation with God are removed, usually through sacrifice. Most religions have rituals of purification and expiation by which the relation of the individual to the divine is strengthened. In Christianity, atonement is achieved through the death and resurrection of Jesus. In Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and some Protestant churches, penance is a sacrament that allows for personal atonement. In Judaism the annual Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, is the culmination of 10 days centered on repentance.

Bible definition:

Lev. 17: 11     For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

The blessings of the blood of Jesus, which comes trough faith is unlimited, and not limited. All that believe in Him shall not perish. It was established way before Moses’ time, for God told Cain if he did well and offer the right sacrifice he also would be accepted as his brother Gen.4:7
