The Atonement of Jesus Christ

The End of Man
Power emanating from the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ broke the bands of physical death. The sacrifice overcame the power of death. This ushered in the resurrection of all. Adams' sin was forgiven. The power of the atonement is for the resurrection only and it restores all men again to the presence of God.
The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ was an extra assignment. The original assignment was to teach man how to return to God. God had said; we will prove them herewith to see if they would do all things which the Lord their God commanded them. Jesus Christ was chosen as the master teacher, the ambassador of God, to teach man on the earth. Jesus Christ was to teach man to qualify himself to obey God's command.
