for us when He was "slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:8. But it is specifically as a High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary that Christ does His work of saving "them to the uttermost that come unto God by him." And justification by faith is the actual saving! It is the subject matter of His ever living "to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25. Hebrews therefore discloses the intimate relationship of justification by faith in its fullest sense to the sanctuary ministry. 3. What is the ' 'atonement'' provided through the sanctuary ministry? Atonement is simply reconciliation, being at-one-with God. It is not that God is reconciled to us, for He already so loved the world that He gave His Son to die for us. "Be ye reconciled to God" is the message of the gospel. 2 Corinthians 5:20. The sacrifice of the cross providing the basis for man's salvation was complete and final, but not yet can it be truly said that the practical effects of reconciliation are 146
complete. Since the atonement is reconciliation with God, it is obvious that those who still have "the carnal mind" are not yet reconciled to Him, for such a mind is still in a state of "enmity against God." If Paul, writing years after the cross, could say to the Corinthians, "Ye are yet carnal" (1 Corinthians 3:3), he meant that they had not yet truly "received the atonement" (Romans 5:11). The legal or forensic justification provided at the cross is based on God's offering and gift for "all men"; but not until the sinner hears the good news and believes does he experience justification by faith. So the atonement must be not only provided legally by God, but received by the sinner through faith. This makes clear the need for a final atonement in the sense of a culminating growth of faith which heals all latent or buried enmity against God in the heart and mind of the believer. This is the work that the enemy of Christ, the antichrist, has determined to oppose to the bitter end, for if he can succeed in nullifying the final atonement, by 147
