Literally, “at-one-ment,” the making at one of those who have been separated. The word is used of Christs dying to bring God and sinners together. Sin had separated them (Isa. 59:2) and made them enemies (Col. 1:2); it was thus a very serious matter. A many-sided act was required to remove that sin; words like redemption and reconciliation bring out significant aspects of Christs saving work. Whatever had to be done about sin, Christs death did, and thus opened up salvation for sinners.
