61 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | orthodoxy | 5470 | ||
There are no verses that actually state that Christ dies only for the elect. But this isn't really a problem since there are very few doctrines that are stated as in their popular conception in Scripture. But there are many verses that indicate that Christ came to save/die for only some. Examine the following: John 10:14-16, 25-30; 13:18; 17:2, 6, 9-12 II Tim. 2:19 But I really don't like giving proof texts. I'd rather talk about the patterns in Scripture. Like God's unmistakable pattern of choosing some individuals over others. Abel and Seth over Cain. Noah and his family over the rest of humanity. Abraham and his seed over the rest of the world. Isaac over Ishmael. Jacob over Esau. Judah over the rest of the brothers, even over Joseph. Etc. I think that this is a much better indicative of God's sovereign election than any single verse.
