Encouragement in Christ JESUS, “The LORD our righteousness!”
The death of Christ is the redemption and salvation of His people. It is not a possibility of redemption and salvation effectual only if we can get sinners to cooperate and believe. It is not even a probability of redemption and salvation because, as one man said, “Odds are, some will believe.” NO! The death of Christ is a guarantee, the assurance, the security of the complete salvation of all whom the Father gave Him before the foundation of the world. Because of His death, they will hear and believe the Gospel of God’s grace in Christ – “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me. This He said, signifying what death He should die” [John 12:32-33].
