Justification, atonement, and salvation with Christ
I would say that justification is a new beginning for a relationship that has been broken, and it is made right by forgiveness. But that's just the doorway into the resumption of relationship. The relationship [itself] is atonement, and that involves Christ becoming one with us. [Atonement] means that we now [can] walk with him and that he is in us, and we are in him. We have eternal life, and that is what atonement is. The result of atonement is deliverance or salvation. We are not under the power of sin and death anymore. Justification, atonement, and salvation are three aspects of one thing.
