The Participationist Model is a very similar one to Judicial, but it is different on that the sin is not simply a disobedient action that a person does against God, but it is a kind of comic power, an evil force that compels people to live in alienation from God. It relates the power of sin to the power of death, as it is seen that death is not only to stop breathing but it is to be overpowered by a cosmic power and to be permanently removed from the realm of God.
In this model, Jesus' death has a meaning as though the power of sin was defeated, while in the Judicial model is simply portrayed as the payment of the penalty of sin.
At last, the appropriation according to this model is the participation in Christ's victory through baptism.
