“Since the Father-Son relation falls within the being of God, the incarnation must also be regarded as falling within the life and the being of God. A staggering concept. It also follows that the saving work of Christ, the atoning mediation and redemption which he carried out for our sake falls within his own personal being as Mediator or Incarnate Son. He himself is ‘hilasmos’. He himself is atonement. He is the great God and Savior, the one Mediator. Now the work of atoning salvation is then not one that takes place outside of Christ as something external to Christ or external to God. But as something that takes place within the incarnate life and being of Jesus Christ, the Mediator.” -From Audio Lectures by Thomas F. Torrance
