The Value of the Atonement

Man of himself is a poor, lost being. He neither knows himself nor can he save himself. His greatest works crumble to decay, or are dimmed to obscurity by the greater glory of what follows. He is separated by sin from the great Source of life. His only hope is in the life at-one-ment thru Jesus Christ, revealed in the Bible. In that atonement centers Christianity. Now, of what worth is Christianity to that people or age who reject the atonement of that Word? What help is Christ to them?
