Bible Question: Can you give me specific verses concerning "Christ dyeing only for the elect"? |
Bible Answer: Hello, homer7000. In Scripture, I see no reference to a verse that says that Christ died only for the elect. This premise is contrary to why the Son came to die for sinful humanity in the first place. If He only came to die for certain people, then what assurance do we have in our salvation? But Christ came to die for all people, taking the weight of the world's sins upon His shoulders. In Rom. 5:6 we can see that Christ died for the ungodly, therefore making it possible for the elect to become saved in the first place. |
