Pilgrim, does the sufficiency of Christ to infallibly secure the redemption of those whom He died for when talking to the unregenerate conflict with the concept that Jesus' blood was shed sufficiently for all?




The righteousness of Christ being of infinite value or merit, and being in its nature precisely what all men need, may be offered to all men. It is thus offered to the elect and to the non-elect; and it is offered to both classes conditionally. That condition is a cordial acceptance of it as the only ground of justification. If any of the elect (being adults) fail thus to accept of it, they perish. If any of the non-elect should believe, they would be saved. What more does any Anti-Augustinian scheme provide? Charles Hodge

The atonement is sufficient in value to expiate the sin of all men indiscriminately; and this fact should be stated because it is a fact. There are no claims of justice not yet satisfied; there is no sin of man for which an infinite atonement has not been provided. "All things are now ready." Therefore the call to "come" is universal. It is plain, that the offer of the atonement should be regulated by its intrinsic nature and sufficiency, not by the obstacles that prevent its efficacy. W.G.T Shedd

It is God's purpose to receive and save all that believe on his Son, elect or not...We believe as fully as they do (a) that the Atonement is sufficient for all...If the non-elect believes, he will none the less be saved because of his non-election. If he elect does not believe and persevere to the end, he will none the more be saved because of his election. A.A. Hodge
