How do we know salvation is accomplished through Christ?
Answered in 3 sources
Salvation is accomplished through Christ’s atoning work on the cross, where He fully paid for the sins of His people and declared 'It is finished'.
Salvation is not merely offered but is accomplished in Christ's sacrificial death. As articulated in the sermon, the distinction between salvation 'accomplished' and 'made available' is crucial; the former speaks to a completed action, while the latter suggests an incomplete opportunity. John 10:11 emphasizes Jesus as the 'Good Shepherd' who lays down His life for the sheep, affirming that those for whom He died will never perish. This assurance encapsulates the doctrine of sovereign grace, where God's divine will and mercy operate harmoniously in the redemption of His chosen ones.
