Do we need the atonement?

"People are not concerned about an atonement. They are basically convinced they have no need for it... If anything has been lost from our culture, it is the idea that human beings are privately, personally, individually, ultimately, inexorably accountable to God for their lives... If people understood that there is a holy God and that sin is an offense against that holy God, they would break down the doors of our churches and ask, 'What must I do to be saved?'"

-- RC Sproul, The Truth of the Cross, 8-9
