Atonement

A man looking out over a vista.

September 21, 2026

Atonement is the process of removing obstacles in our relationship with God. The Day of Atonement, a holy day during the Fall Festival season, symbolizes a day in the future when Satan will be chained and imprisoned. Right now, the process of atonement requires humility and honesty, and can use the tool of fasting to draw closer to God.
