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.
