Once Saved by Christ,
Saved Forever
(or An Effectual Atonement)
If Christ once suffered for our sins to bring us to God, then you were also
once brought unto God. And just as Christ needeth not to suffer any more
for sins, how sayeth many this suffering of Christ was not effectual to bring
you unto God forever? If once brought unto God, are you not in His hands
and care?
Is God so negligent so as to lose
any of His once redeemed sheep?
Such a proposition denies the work of Christ who once
died to put away sins by the sacrifice of himself,
which he did and which cannot be undone without un-
doing Jesus Christ as our once, only and always
Savior.
Do not dishonor Christ and His work by supposing His sufferings did not
positively and certainly save His people from their sins. It was once done,
and done forever. Be not of uncertain opinion on this point: Christ either
saved and it was completed once and forever or it was never done at all. In
this, Jesus is the once, only and always Savior.
There is great peace, hope, and
happiness in being persuaded of this.
