The Place of Atonement

Exodus 25:17
Then make the Ark's cover - the place of atonement - from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.



Romans 3:25
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.

Precious Jesus, you are now our place of atonement. We are made right with God, (our sins are atoned for), when we believe that you sacrificed your life by shedding your blood on the cross.

Atone, Atones:  to supply satisfaction for, to make amends, to reconcile.
Atonement:  reconciliation, reparation for an offence or injury, cleansing.

1 John 2:2-6
He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins - and not only our sins but the sins of the world. And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, "I know God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

Thank you, Jesus! I praise you for being my atonement! Help me to obey your commands I want to know you so that I can live as you did. In Jesus' name, amen
