WHAT IS GUARANTEED BY THE RANSOM? Part 3

WHAT IS GUARANTEED BY THE RANSOM? Part 3

As seen by our previous post, Christ’s death became the offset and cancellation of the legal sentence against man, but it did not and was not intended to remove his degradation. Man’s sentence, recorded in the race, mentally, morally and physically, is still in evidence all about us, and will continue in evidence even after the Millennial reign has begun, and until the gradual processes of “blotting out” these sins shall, by the close of the Millennium, have completely obliterated…

WHAT IS GUARANTEED BY THE RANSOM? Part 2

If Christ’s death did not affect the cancellation of man’s sins, wherein lies the fault? Does it imply that the sacrifice was not sufficient to cancel the sins, or does it imply that God has not been just toward the sinners, but has accepted a payment from Jesus and is also requiring a payment directly from the individual sinner, as though he had not accepted Christ’s ransom sacrifice?

Now some who have been made aware of this economical feature of the Divine Plan might suggest that someone other than God could have conjured up such an idea, but the evidence does not support this. How many amongst professing…

A Ransom for All

A Ransom for All

One Ransom for All “It was necessary [in accordance with God’s will] that man [should] learn obedience—not only to obey, but the importance of obedience. Man must obey not just because he is told to, but also because he wants to. This makes him free—the desire to comply rather than the constraints to comply. God as Creator knew that the available means of learning were instruction, observation, and experience. Man could not learn first by observation, because there was no…
