All the history should be understood in this context<br />
Incarnation was the plan of At-ONE-ment<br />
“The NT does not put forward a theory of atonement, but there are several indications of the principle<br />
on which atonement is effected.<br />
Thus sacrifice must be offered, not the sacrifice of animals, which cannot avail for men (Heb. 10:4), but<br />
the perfect sacrifice of Christ (Heb. 9:26; 10:5-10).<br />
Christ paid sin's due penalty (Rom. 3:25-26; 6:23; Gal. 3:13).<br />
He redeemed us (Eph. 1:7), paying the price that sets us free (I Cor. 6:20; Gal. 5:1).<br />
He made a new covenant (Heb. 9:15).<br />
He won the victory (I Cor. 15:55-57).<br />
He effected the propitiation that turns away the warth of God (Rom. 3:25),<br />
made the reconciliation that turns enemies into friends (Eph. 2:16).<br />
