In this book, Dr. R. C. Sproul uses Scripture to unfold the meaning of the cross, its significance, and its purpose. He considers the atonement from numerous angles and shows conclusively that the cross was absolutely necessary if anyone was to be saved. Opening the Scriptures, Dr. Sproul shows that God Himself provided salvation by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross, and the cross was always God's intended method by which to bring salvation. The study points to the core of the biblical message, revealing that it is the holy God who seeks and saves the lost.
