~ 4 More Absolute Universals ~
All Humans Have Sinned (ruin
of all) ~ “All
we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own
way” (Isaiah 53:6a).
All Sin Was Paid For By Christ (ransom
for all) ~ “All we like sheep
have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord
has laid on Him the iniquity of us all”
(Isaiah 53:6).
All Can Chose To Accept The Free Gift (forgiveness
available for all) ~ “Therefore, as
through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation,
even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification
of life. For as by one man’s
disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will
be made righteous” (Romans 5:18-19).
All Believers Have A Clear Record (justified
from all their sin) ~ “Let it be known to
you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from
which you could not be justified by the law of Moses” (Acts
13:38-39).
Summary
~ Everyone begins in the first
all (ruined), Jesus Christ made provision with the second all (payment for
sin), believers accept the gracious gift of the second all thereby receiving
the third all (forgiveness of their sin).
The end result is the fourth all (a complete clean slate with God).
