The atonement arrangement is the action God takes to restore a good relationship between him and mankind. The ransom is the price paid to make atonement possible for sinful mankind. This price is represented by Jesus’ precious blood poured out in our behalf.​—Eph. 1:7; Heb. 9:14.

THE ARRANGEMENT: ATONEMENT

8. What is (a) atonement? (b) propitiation?
