There is NO "SELF" ATONEMENT!
Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Jeremiah 50:20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
All this is because of the singular work of one person, Jesus Christ
. This is the ATONEMENT work God and Jesus fixed and finished together on Calvary! Man's faith and personal work could not and cannot get the job done, because at best a man's self righteousness by his own faith and works is like "filthy rags" before God! YOU cannot be offered as a sacrifice for your own sins, because YOU are "an unclean and filthy thing" by all that you can do.Psalm 14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
To Atone for sin, God required a "perfect" sacrifice and He chose Jesus, not you by your works and faith, nor any other "imperfect" man, Psalm 40:6-9. Your salvation does not depend on you and what you do and believe in your lifetime on earth despite what preachers say in the churches.
Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
And if Jesus has removed our sins so far away that "they cannot be found", where do these "non-existent" sins exist? They exist in the minds and doctrines of preachers and churches overcome by the Dragon down in the bottomless pit earth-environment, and in the rantings of the the "Accuser of the brethren", the "Beast who was and is not and yet is". He has human churches and preachers under his claws, Daniel 7:21-22, 8:8-12; Revelation 13:4-7. Demons and their "flunkie" preachers continue to preach the "doctrine of condemnation and death to men even though Jesus and the Father took it away" and they attempt to re-"impute sins to men" and retrieve them from Jesus' beaten back.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, (which is what preachers and churches want God to do) but the spirit giveth life. 7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus Christ SAVES, JUSTIFIES, GIVES GRACE, and REDEEMS all men and the whole world as the Atonement Lamb of God. There is no "qualifying" for this. Rejecting Jesus and not believing in him does not void this gift to any unbelieving or non-believing man!
Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of (the devil). 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Such persons will not be burned in hellfire as preachers have claimed in their Dragon inspired lying judgment doctrines! There is nothing you or any preacher can do to save yourself or anyone else. God picked a "perfect" Lamb to Atone for ALL MEN especially for the preachers and the churches ensnared beneath the claws of the Dragon. The churches have become the "courts" of the Dragon and the preachers have become "prosecuting attorneys" for the "Accusers of the brethren".
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb ( this Word of Atonement as presented by the GOOD NEWS), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
