The Doctrine of the Atonement: The Active Obedience of Christ

The Doctrine of the Atonement: The Active Obedience of Christ

  • Semi-Technical
  • J. Gresham Machen

Written to defend the substitutionary view of the atonement, this article shows that viewing the cross of Christ as an example of personal sacrifice for Christians to follow is contrary to the teaching of scripture. God's justice necessitated the substitutionary work of Christ on our behalf.

If I have observed anything by experience it is this: a man may take the measure of his growth and decay in grace according to his thoughts and meditations upon the person of Christ and the glory of Christ’s kingdom and of his love. John Owen
