TULIP GEMS

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”  (2 Peter 3:18)

Many preachers today claim that Christ died for ALL men without exception.  They teach that Christ's death made salvation possible, if men will but believe.  But Christ taught that His death on the cross was a RANSOM.  It effectively SECURED the salvation of God's elect. 

"Payment God's justice cannot TWICE demand; first at the bleeding Saviour's hand, and then again at mine"  --  Charles Haddon Spurgeon  (Emphasis mine) 

Note that Christ said He would “give his life a ransom for MANY".  If He died for ALL men without exception, as some claim, then the word "many" is meaningless in Matthew 20:28.  But if "many" refers to the elect for whom Christ died, it makes perfect sense. 

FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE? 

The Bible says that God purchased the Church with His own Blood (Acts 20:28) and Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it (Ephesians 5:25).  Church means "called out ones" -- a body of true believers (not an idolatrous, bloody, Crusader, Inquisitor, pro-Nazi counterfeit). 

Some of God's elect are born and raised Roman Catholic.  But when they study the Bible they find that the teachings of Christ CONDEMN many Roman Catholic teachings and traditions.[1]  This is why the Vatican placed the Bible on its Index of Forbidden Books.[2]
