Limited Atonement

            Limited atonement is the plainly revealed truth of Holy Scripture and the fundamental doctrine of the gospel. Deny it and you deny the gospel, you deny the faith of Christ. Many today try to talk out of both sides of their mouths, compromising the gospel while pretending to defend the faith. They tell us that there is a sense in which Christ died for all men and made salvation a possibility for all. The Word of God never dabbles in possibilities. The gospel is not good advice offering sinners the possibility of redemption; but good news, declaring to helplessly lost, doomed and damned sinners the effectual accomplishment of redemption by the sacrifice of Christ the Lamb of God, as the sinner’s Substitute.

            Nowhere in Holy Scripture is there the slightest indication that Christ died for those who are forever damned to suffer the wrath of God in hell. Rather, in every place where the death of Christ is proclaimed, in type, in prophecy and in the full revelation of the gospel given in the Gospels and Epistles, the Spirit of God sets it before us as a sacrifice of infinite merit and efficacy made for a specific people.
