Subject: Can we live life without sinning? |
Bible Note: Note Finney's remarks below: "The vicarious suffering or atonement of Christ is a condition of justification, or of the pardon and acceptance of penitent sinners." "I regard the atonement of Christ as the necessary condition of safely manifesting the benevolence of God in the justification and salvation of sinners." "That Christ's sufferings, and especially His death, were vicarious, has been abundantly shown in treating the subject of atonement." It seems to me the Finney was not objecting to the death of Christ as the means of justification for sinners per se, but how the death of Christ is to be understood in relation to justifying sinners. |
