The biblical concept of Christ's Atonement refers to the redemption and reconciliation of humanity to God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as foretold in Isaiah 53:5 and fulfilled in Romans 5:8, where it is written that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This atoning work of Christ is rooted in the Old Testament concept of substitutionary sacrifice, where the innocent suffers on behalf of the guilty, as seen in Leviticus 16:20-22, and is a central tenet of Christian theology, providing forgiveness and salvation to all who put their faith in Him. Through Christ's Atonement, believers are reconciled to God and justified by faith, as expressed in Romans 3:24-25, where it is written that we are "justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
