Arminians believe in unlimited universal atonement.
All Every
Did he spill his blood and waste his last breath on sinners who would never care one iota?
Did he spill his blood and waste his last breath on sinners who would never care one iota?
If Arminians is right, Christ died in vain, at least for some.
We believe in limited atonement or better particular or definite atonement.
We believe the atonement actually... particular people.
We limit
We dare not limit the power of the gospel so we limit salvation to the elect.
the scope of the cross.
Arminians limit the power of the cross.
We limit salvation to God’s elect and Arminians limit Christ’s ability to save at least some.
Christ can save those who first save themselves.
We dare not limit the power of the gospel so we limit salvation to the elect.
I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep… 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep… 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep.
Christ’s redeeming work was definite in design and accomplishment.
He died for his sheep… church… It was intended to render a complete satisfaction for the sins of certain people, and it actually secured the salvation of those and none else.
“All” confuses Arminians, but not the Bible.
It clearly defines “all” and the “world.”
It's all those who believe, all believers die spiritually in Christ and will rise again spiritually in Christ.
All is all those who believe.
The “world” too, the elect that is “whosoever believes” in the world.
In Free Offer of the Gospel, Christ draws all men to himself, “many are...” This “all” confuses many so… We are 225 points Calvinists that is every point of our Calvinistic Confessions (Three Forms of Unity).
Article 1: The Punishment which God’s Justice Requires
Our fathers began this second main point of doctrine with with mercy because Arminians accused… “God is love.”
Amen, God is love.
His love is great.
But here is how his love works… creation… beauty… science… truth... hates evil.
He hates sin because he loves justice.
He loves his Son.
He loves his work… loves punishment… He loves his own nature which is holy, holy, holy.
God loves holiness.
Protects it: innocence and weak
He will not therefore let any be violated without extreme punishment.
Arminians simply overlooked God’s love.
They were … They forgot that God loves God.
They forgot to ask, “What does God think?”
They have forgotten to look at Scripture.
It’s ironic… God has revealed himself in the Word to be a Calvinists.
No, may that… holy.
Because God is holy, he is merciful and just and his justice requires that something be done about sin.
What has to be done about our sins is spelled out here in the Canons of Dort: “His justice requires… justice.”
The Arminians didn’t think it necessary to insist in God’s justice and forgot all about propitiation (children).
Why didn’t God need to be satisfied?
They taught that God’s attitude toward man changed after the cross.
He lowered his standards.
Instead Belief
God revoked his demands of perfection.
He became less holy.
Mercy triumphed over justice.
Fathers Saw
Here lies the problem.
If Christ paid for all our sins, then why do any go to hell?
How can that be justice?
That would mean that God demands two payments; universalists… Socinian.
Here lies the problem.
If Christ paid for all our sins, then why do any go to hell?
How can that be justice?
That would mean that God demands two payments; first from Christ then from those who perish.
For this reason many Arminians became universalists.
They will also become Socinian.
The problem for Arminians is original sin and God’s holy nature (cf Rejection 4, 5).
Arminians have turned faith in a new work.
They introduced the old medieval… We are not condemned because… We are condemned… The cross is tried T.
You cannot see God’s mercy without looking at the T. We are Totally Depraved and God is a just God.
Man is liable to punishment because of original sin and well as for his actual sins.
Can God simply say, “You are not perfect....” " Can God simply forgive sins?
Is it in his nature?
No, for sin is evil to God.
It’s darkness… What is sin?
Sin is open, defiant…
Because God is just, God insists that righteousness be rewarded wherever it is found, and that unrighteousness or sin be punished wherever it is found.
God cannot reward disobedience.
Because He is truthful, God must carry out His threats as well as His promises.
So God has given us a cross.
The cross is Christ’s reward of obedience given to us.
Article 2: The Satisfaction made by Christ
Its’s not fun to study wrath and hell.
Yet God’s holiness requires it.
The cross demands it because Christ… He satisfied God’s just judgment.
God’s wrath was poured out on him, “My God my...” God’s justice required a cross.
God’s love made it happen.
The best way to see, “God is love” is at the cross.
There he gave us his Son, to die in our place, to receive the wrath we deserve.
The cross really satisfied God’s justice.
It actually did something.
You must know that and once you do you cannot accept unlimited atonement.
The cross fulfilled Christ’s perfect obedience so that by that one act we might be saved.
The cross saves— period.
It saves the elect.
I’ve argued with Arminians… The same God who demands satisfaction from all of us that His justice be satisfied is the same God who loved us so much he provided such a satisfaction.
Mercy is the result of justice.
Justice is the heart of the gospel!
The gospel saves.
Without these truths there is no salvation.
So, don’t look to your satisfaction, have… Calvinism says… finished it all once and forever for those who believe alone.
