    Atonement is the reconciliation of the spiritual relationship between God and His creation, mankind, repairing the broken spiritual bond through the fall of Adam, but fulfilled by the redemptive power of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus for your shed blood!

    Atonement is generally defined as establishing ONEment, meaning "be in harmony".

    Atonement is specifically an act of making amends for sin, making up for wrongdoing, or paying for a crime.

    Christian "Atonement" is the reconciliation of God and man through the sufferings and death of our Saviour, for OUR sins!!!

Its purpose is the glory of God and of Christ, and the gift of eternal life:

    Off the top of my head without a dictionary.

    Atonement means: to make right.

  • 1 decade ago

    Making right whatever it is that you made wrong.

    Apologizing to anyone you may have hurt along the way.

    honestly being remorseful over what you have done in the past and taking steps to correct those mistakes
