1JESUS THE CHRIST
Jesus is also often called the Son of God. He has come to save the mankind and deliver
salvation to the world. His purpose was to deliver the mankind from their sins and save them
from utter ruination. That is the reason he came to this world. Apostle John had a long writing
about the process of salvation and how the people of this world are the Supreme Lord’s own
people. “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God: that ye
may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1
John 5:13)1. Therefore it can be stated that Jesus Christ, the person who is the own Son of God
was the own son of God and that he is the one who could deliver the human kind from the wrath
of sins. Sins are instrument of the Satan to ensure that people are not delivered and they cannot
achieve salvation.
Christology is the study within the field of Christian theology and the study regarding
Christ. The various description of the life and times of Christ that is described in the accounts of
the various Apostle and the epistles of the New Testament and the epistles of the New Testament
and the epistles of the New Testament and the various canonical Gospels. The study of
Christology mainly relates to the teaching, life and times of Jesus Christ. The primary source of
the life and times of Christ can be found from the immediate sources composed by the various
followers and immediate successors of Christ. In Christology it is taught that all the religions of
the Earth are having similarity with the teachings of Christ.
At the specific heart of the framework of Christianity rests the immeasurably essential
regulation of the Atonement. Paul, The Apostle who was himself a promoter of "sound
principle," in a consolidated articulation of what the Christian Catholic Church accepts, stated,
“For I conveyed unto you as a matter of first importance that which I likewise got, how that

2JESUS THE CHRIST
Jesus passed on for our transgressions as indicated by the holy books; And that He was covered,
and that He climbed again the third day as per the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3, 4).
In spite of the fact that the Gospel as indicated by Paul incorporated an immaculate and a
substantially restored Christ, he gives ahead of all comers to the basic reality that "Christ died for
our transgressions."2 notwithstanding the way that some religious pioneers protest vivaciously to
the Doctrine and theology of the Atonement, apart from that the Death of Jesus Christ was
conciliatory and essential for man's reclamation, we continue on a sound scriptural premise to
seek after this incredible subject.
The first form and usage of the term Atonement. It is used only one time in the New
Testament (Romans 5:11) and in this instant it is translated as "reconciliation" in the version that
is revised. It is not totally whimsical to prescribe the likelihood of atonement in light of the fact
that the term “atonement” is used to allude to the giving penance passing of Christ through which
the heathen is accommodated to God, reestablished to His help. Atonement appears just once in
the New Testament (Romans 5:11) where it is interpreted "reconciliation" in the Revised
Version3.
To make up for resources to show appropriate reparations. In the Holy Scriptures
atonement is related with man's bad behavior. God guided Israel to set aside one day
consistently, the tenth day of the seventh month, which He called "the day of atonement"
(Leviticus 16:29-30; 23:27-28). The general population were to bring a bad behavior offering, a
legit creature forfeit "whose blood was acquired to make atonement" (Leviticus 16:27). God had
