THEOLOGY OF PAUL
M.M.NINAN
___________________________________________________________
The book of Hebrews in the New Testament teaches the doctrine of the Atonement of Christ through the symbolism
of the Day of Atonement.
Heb 9:11-12 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the
greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the
Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man and G-d, not for sins against another person. To atone for sins
against another person, you must first seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed
against them if possible. That must all be done before Yom Kippur.
Jesus Christ fulfills and accomplishes forever what the two goats symbolized.
• The Old Testament sacrifice of animals has been replaced by the perfect sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 9:23-26;
Hebrews 10:5-10; 1 John 2:1-2; 1 John 4:9-10).
• Christ paid sin’s penalty (Romans 3:25-26; Romans 6:23; Galatians 3:13).
