Subject: Is there middle ground? |
Bible Note: Nolan- But to what point? If Christ died for the sins only of the elect - how do we know who is the elect? We have to share the gospel, regardless, and know that the Holy Spirit causes conviction and draws people to make a commitment, we don't, and it doesn't matter because our job is to spread the Good News to all we come in contact with. If Christ's blood covered the sins of the whole world, what does it matter - we are to do the same anyway. The only difference would be if we KNEW who the elect was so we could only witness to them (and not waste out energy and time on the others) - but then, if Christ died only for THEIR sins, wouldn't they come to the knowledge without our help? Too complicated for me- I just know that MY job is tell the gospel when I can and to be thankful that the Lord gave me the opportunity to hear it and the Holy Spirit for causing me to realize how much I needed Jesus' blood to cover me! God bless you, brother! Debbie |
