Future

Accepting the Atonement teaches you what immortality is, for by accepting your guiltlessness you learn that the past has never been, and so the future is needless and will not be.

The future, in time, is always associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a sense of a need for expiation.

Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His Son, and what he is in truth.

 For God has never condemned His Son, and being guiltless he is eternal.
