Eleanor on the Doctrine of the Atonement

This morning Eleanor was being dishonest about something and this is the conversation which insued.

Me: Eleanor, you are not telling the truth.  The Bible tells us that dishonesty is a sin.  It says, you shall not lie. 

E:  Mama, Jesus already died for our sins.

Me: But that doesn't mean you should keep on sinning.

Daddy: Yes Eleanor, that is correct but when we love Jesus we do not want to sin.
