Subject: Effectual Atonement for His Own |
Bible Note: "We hold that Christ, when He died, had an object in view, and that object will most assuredly, and beyond a doubt, be accomplished. "We measure the design of Christ's death by the effect of it. If any one asks us, 'What did Christ design to do by His death?' we answer that question by asking him another -- 'What has Christ done, or what will Christ do by His death?' For we declare that the measure of the effect of Christ's love, is the measure of the design of it. "We cannot so belie our reason as to think that the intention of Almighty God could be frustrated, or that the design of so great a thing as the atonement, can by any way whatever, be missed of. We hold -- we are not afraid to say that we believe -- that Christ came into this world with the intention of saving 'a multitude which no man can number;' and we believe that as the result of this, every person for whom He died must, beyond the shadow of a doubt, be cleansed from sin, and stand, washed in blood, before the Father's throne. "We do not believe that Christ made any effectual atonement for those who are for ever damned; we dare not think that the blood of Christ was ever shed with the intention of saving those whom God foreknew never could be saved, and some of whom were even in Hell when Christ, according to some men's account, died to save them." --Charles H. Spurgeon (1858) |
