    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    It makes us the Righteousness of God in Him ! cont The Reason why those Christ died for must be made a New Creation, is because His Death for them satisfied the Law and Justice of God on behalf of them, which declares them Justified and Righteous before Him, and His Righteousness laid to their...

    Another reason why men naturally do not and cannot seek after the True God, nor come to Christ who is the True God incarnate, is because we lack or are without strength spiritually Rom 5:6 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. It means we were...

    Does man naturally have ability to Seek God ?

    Another reason why man naturally doesnt seek nor have the ability to seek the True and Living God, is because naturally through sin our hearts are hardened.
