FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE?
The LORD Jesus Christ, died for the "sins of His people." Matt. 1:21.
He bore the sins of His people on the cross at Calvary (Golgotha.) So, was it for:
1. ALL THE SINS OF ALL Mankind?
2. ALL THE SINS OF SOME of Mankind?
3. SOME OF THE SINS OF ALL of Mankind?
In which case it may be said: That if the LAST be true, all men have some sins to answer for, so therefore NONE are saved.
That if the second be true, then Christ in their place, suffered for ALL the sins of ALL the elect in the whole world, which is the TRUTH.
BUT, if the first be the case, why are not ALL free from the punishment due to their sins? You may answer "Because of their unbelief !" I ask you, "Is unbelief a sin, or not?" If it so be, then Christ suffered for the sin of unbelief along with all other sins! If He did, then why is the sin of UNBELIEF still due for punishment, and all other sins atoned for?
The LORD JESUS said: "No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me, draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44
