Intended Atonement

 
What was the Lord’s intention in His death?
 
Was His intention to save all of Adam’s race?
 
If it was, He failed miserably.
 
Was His intent to make salvation available if we do our part?
 
That would not help us at all!
 
We cannot do our part!
 
His intent was to save the elect!
 
“And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that of all which He hath… Continue reading

Cause Thy Face To Shine Upon Us

Cause Thy Face To Shine Upon Us

By Henry Mahan

 
The apostles and early believers were despised by the religious Jews because of the gospel which they preached. It was not because they were covetous or proud men. They were persecuted because the gospel of God’s grace, which they preached, was offensive to humans pride.
 
They preached (as I trust we do, also) that salvation, even for the most moral person on earth, is only possible because of… Continue reading

To Deny An Effectual And Particular Redemption Is To Deny The Gospel

To Deny An Effectual And Particular Redemption Is To Deny The Gospel

The Hope Of Arminianism

The Hope Of Arminianism

By William Huntington

 
The hope of Arminianism seems to me to differ much from the hope of the gospel, because it allows that Christ died for all men. But Christ declares that the gates which lead to destruction receive the greatest number, (Matthew 7:13).
 
Therefore, if the former be true, some are in hell for whom Christ died; in which case there must have been a deficiency in the price the Surety paid, or… Continue reading

Hogs To The Slaughter

Hogs To The Slaughter

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

Sword & Trowel Tract No. 6

 

leading hogs to slaughter charles surgeon gospel tract

 

“Alas, that there should be such likeness between men and swine!”

 
Rowland Hill illustrated the folly of sinners by the story of a butcher who was followed by the swine right into the slaughterhouse. As pigs are not usually in the mind to go where they are wanted, it seemed a mystery how these animals were so eager to follow their executioner; but… Continue reading

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12). God speaks of man kindly, but severely; as one yearning over a lost child, yet as one who will make no terms with sin, and will "by no means clear the guilty." <continued>
