Bible Question: Can you give me specific verses concerning "Christ dyeing only for the elect"? |
Bible Answer: To whom it may concern: Someone writes: My brother Nolan's statement makes no sense, "If He only came to die for certain people, then what assurance do we have in our salvation?" It is the writer of the above comment who makes no sense. (By the way, when a sentence ends in a question mark, it is NOT a statement. It's a QUESTION.) Properly understood, Nolan's question makes perfect sense. If you don't believe in the believer's security, then you can never have any assurance of your salvation. It is impossible to have any assurance or security in an insecure salvation. |
