The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Sufficient atonement

Tom,
My understanding of this is that Christ's blood is sufficient for all in two ways:
1. It is sufficient for all kinds of people: Jews, Greeks and Moslems; men, women, Pharisees and tax-collectors.
2. It is sufficient for all who will come. No one will ever trust in Christ for salvation and then be told, "Sorry, Christ's blood was only sufficient for so many people and you've missed the bus!"

'The one who comes to Me I will by no means turn away' (John 6:37b). As Spurgeon said, our warrant to come to Christ is not that we think we might be elect, but that we are sinners and Christ died for such. But when we get to heaven, we shall find that God has loved us with an everlasting love, and drawn us to Him in time; and that Christ has paid for our sins specifically in full.
