    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    More on Gal 6:14 What do you Glory in ? Gal 6:14 14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. The word Glory here is the greek word kauchaomai: to glory (whether with reason or without) 2) to...

    Gal 6:14 Crucified to the world ! Gal 6:14 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

    It accomplished believers in Himself ! The Death of Christ, it accomplished for all those He died for, for them to become believers in Him, yes that was one of God's Purposes behind it. Jn 3:14-17 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    The word world kosmos oft times in the scripture doesnt mean everyone without exception, so its very important to understand the biblical context in which the word world is used before being careless with it. In Jn 12:19 the word is used and most certainly doesnt mean everyone without exception...

    Propitiation 1 Jn 4:10 1 Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation[an appeasing] for our sins. The word propitiation here as well as 1 Jn 2:2 is the greek word hilasmos and means: an appeasing, propitiating Our word appeases...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    We know that Christ could not have offered Himself for every man without exception simply because, by His offering, meaning His Death, He hath #1 Sanctified them [those He offered Himself for] once and For All. Heb 10:10 And #2 He hath perfected them forever by His Offering Heb 10:14 14For by...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    The World of Jn 3:16 isnt all without exception, but its that world of people that He specifically gave His Life for, the World of His Sheep. Notice about His Sheep He says Jn 10:11 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for[hyper] the sheep. Again Jn 10:15 15 As the...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    Jesus and Gods Love in Jn 3:16 is no further than to them that believe on Him or who shall believe on Him, for it is those whom He Prays for and no others Jn 17:9,20

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    It causes Gospel obedience to those He died for ! Heb 5:9 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; The being made perfect here means by fulfilling every stipulation of the Everlasting Covenant of Grace, to include His obedience to death...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    If we go by Jn 17:9 we can understand who Jn 3:16 is, its the world of all those God gave to the Son in Eternal Election, note Jn 17:9 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. The same as spoken of in Jn 17:2 2 As thou hast given...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Receiving the Atonement ! Rom 5:11 11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. This means that those Christ died for, and reconciled to God objectively, they receive the benefits subjectively of Christ atoning death, by...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    We should know by scriptural comparison, that the World in Jn 3:16 that God so Loved isn't the world of men without exception, because Jesus Himself refused to pray for the whole world without exception, note Jn 17:9 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    His Sheep will know Him Savingly ! Jn 10:14 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Christ says, " I know my Sheep and am known of Mine" that is His Sheep will Know Him savingly ! Christ ensures us that all Christ's Sheep, those He lay down His Life for, shall...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    The word world in Jn 3:16 has been abused by the religious world, to make it mean everyone without exception. The word cannot be given a meaning that ultimately contradicts truth of other scripture. One of the ways the word world kosmos is used in scripture, and it doesnt mean all without...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I know that there are many different theories of the Atonement of which I am not going to address and dissect, but its my firm conviction that the scriptures teach a vicarious Atonement. That Christ actually died in the place of elect sinners, and consequently if this be True, and Christ did die...
