what on earth is that?
Penal substitutionary atonement refers to the doctrine that Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners. God imputed the guilt of our sins to Christ, and he, in our place, bore the punishment that we deserve. This was a full payment for sins, which satisfied both the wrath and the righteousness of God, so that He could forgive sinners without compromising His own holy standard. (theopedia.com)
Penal = (of an act or offense) punishable by law.
substitutionary = the action of replacing someone or something with another person or thing
atonement = reparation or expiation (the act of making amends for wrong doing) for sin.
