The Atonement Quotes

“For hence it is that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to him by God, by whose merit apprehended by faith he is absolved from his sins and obtains a right to life” (1992, 16.9). Faith is thus “the instrumental cause of our justification” (1992, 16.7) and by implication of our union with Christ. Hence, believers have “immediate and absolute union” with Christ (1992, 18.25).”
― William Lane Craig, The Atonement

“It is evident that imputation depends ​upon our union with Christ. “Having been made by God a surety for us and given to us for a head, he can communicate to us his righteousness and all of his benefits.” Our union with Christ is the “cause and foundation” of our sharing in all his benefits, including justification (remission of sins and adoption as sons) (1992, 16.6).”

“The way in which we appropriate the benefits of Christ’s atoning death is by faith culminating in baptism”
