Jesus laid down His life for God's elect and in doing so He accomplishes what we cannot. He saves us from our sin.
1. For Whom Did Christ Die?
John 6:37-40 For all who were given to him by the Father.
John 10:15 For His sheep.
2. Is Atonement Limited or Unlimited?
JI Packer has summarized the difference between these two different theologies. “The difference between them is not primarily one of emphasis but of content. One proclaims a God who saves, the speaks of a God who enables men to save themselves... One makes salvation depend on the work of God, the other on a work of man.” J.I. Packer, 'Introductory Essay,' in John Owen, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, (London: Banner of Truth, 1959), p. 4. |
