The Governmental theory of atonement teaches that Christ suffered for humankind so that God could forgive humans while still maintaining divine justice. Arminianism has traditionally taught this doctrine, which is also known as "Moral Government" theology. The doctrine draws primarily from the works of Jacobus Arminius and Hugo Grotius. This view has prospered in traditional Methodism and those who follow the teachings of John Wesley.

abstract	The Governmental theory of atonement teaches that Christ suffered for humankind so that God could forgive humans while still maintaining divine justice. Arminianism has traditionally taught this doctrine, which is also known as "Moral Government" theology. The doctrine draws primarily from the works of Jacobus Arminius and Hugo Grotius. This view has prospered in traditional Methodism and those who follow the teachings of John Wesley. The theory maintains that Christ was not punished on behalf of the human race but instead, God publicly demonstrated his displeasure with sin by punishing his own sinless and obedient Son as a propitiation. Because Christ's suffering and death served as a subsititute for the punishment humans might have received, God is able to extend forgiveness while maintaining divine order, having demonstrated the seriousness of sin and thus appeasing his wrath.
