NASB | Romans 5:6 ¶ For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 5:6 ¶ While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. |
Subject: Christ dying only for elect? |
Bible Note: The first option, "Christ paid for the sins of all men" does not imply that all men will go to heaven because their sins are paid for, since Christ's work on the cross makes it possible for all people to come to salvation (John 12:32) and judgment to fall on those who reject Christ (John 12:48). 1 Timothy 2:4 expresses God's desire that all be saved, but does not promise that all will be. This divine desire is only realized in those who exercise faith in Christ (Acts 16:31).So the first option would be the correct reasoning after all. |
