Lastly, and to repeat, IF Christ died for all men without exception, then of necessity all men must be saved. For in Christ the means are just as surely and infallibly secured as is the end.
That's it! The means are just as surely and infallibly secured as is the end! God indeed raised Christ for to give BOTH repentance AND forgiveness of sins to Israel, which shall all be justified by Christ's blood (Ac.5:31,Isa.45:25).
Christ is not a half-savior to some, but a perfect Savior for all of His people. He indeed "was delivered because of our deviations, and was raised because of our justification" (LITV. Ro.4:25)
Christ's very resurrection is bound up with justification of all those for whose transgressions He was delivered, according to Romans 4:25, which means that
He would not have been raised from the dead, had not even one soul for whom He died, been justified! But He was raised "because of [or "through" - Gk "dia"]our justification"! This text completely demolishes all Amyraldianism - the notion that Christ died for more people, than the Father chooses to save. For if Christ be dead for all, then He is also made alive
for all, and so, all, being justified in His resurrection are now awaiting future glory!
Kevin, mark this passage (Ro. 4:25) well, think of the consequences and be delivered out of this Amyraldian / Piperian delusion, if God permits.
