_____________ means to make amends for sin. Specifically, in Christianity, it refers to Jesus’ death on the cross in which he bore the divine wrath that should otherwise be ours.
atonement
The term you are referring to is “atonement.” Atonement generally refers to the act of reconciling or making amends for a wrongdoing or sin. In Christianity, atonement specifically refers to the belief that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross reconciles humanity with God, or in other words, he made amends for our sins. The belief is that sin separates humans from God, and that Jesus’ death on the cross was an expression of God’s love, which reconciles humanity to God by removing the barrier of sin that separates us. This belief is central to the Christian doctrine of salvation, which holds that through faith in Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice, we can be forgiven for our sins and reconciled with God.
