Subject: Is Limited Atonement Bibical? |
Bible Note: Your Welcome Zacht, I read your note to Hank, refering to Calvin's commentary on John 3:16, but I wondered if you had read all of it? In case you had not, I have taken the liberty to send a passge of his that appears a bit further on in the same commentary. Let us remember, on the other hand, that while life is promised universally to all who believe in Christ, still faith is not commonto all. For Christ is made known and held out to the view of all, but the elect alone are they whose eyes God opens, that they may seek him by faith. Here, too, is displayed a wonderful effect of faith; for by it we receive Christ such as he is given to us by the Father -- that is, as having freed us from the condemnation of eternal death, and made us heirs of eternal life, because, by the sacrifice of his death, he has atoned for our not wonder if by it we obtain likewise the life of Christ. God Bless Zacht John |
