What are some of the most important aspects of Biblical theology?
What did Jesus do by dying on the cross?
Possibility or Reality?
- Did Jesus secure the possibility of redemption for all people without exception, or did he accomplish the reality of redemption for a great many without distinction?
- It is understandable and almost instinctive for us to want to believe that Jesus secured the possibility of redemption for all without exception.
- The Bible says that God is love. If this is true, how can God intentionally leave some people in their unredeemed condition when so much is at stake?
- The Bible says that God is fair. If this is true, how can God intentionally send Jesus to die for some people but not for others?
- God created man in His own image. If this is true, doesn't man still have enough of that inherent goodness in him to choose God without God manipulating his decision before he makes it?
- God created man with freedom. If this is true, isn't man's salvation ultimately dependent on a decision that he alone can make?
