atonement

In Christian theology, the doctrine that Jesus suffered on the cross to bring about reconciliation and forgiveness between God and humanity.

Atonement is an action that enables a person separated from God by sin to be reconciled (‘at one’) with him. In ancient Judaism this was achieved through the sacrificial killing of animals.
