Atonement
Payment. God states in the Old Testament that sins can only be forgiven by a blood sacrifice. Throughout the Old Testament He hints to the coming of the Perfect Sacrifice. God Himself would take on flesh and once and for all pay for the sins of all mankind - past, present, future. Jesus Christ was perfect sacrifice and the only one that God will accept. God Himself paid the price for our sins and no other payment will be accepted!

Hebrews 12:7-11
It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
