The Sacrifice That Saves - Part 2

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit."

Why Christ died and for whom Christ died are linked together. Was His sacrifice actually effective by God's will or only potentially effective by man's will? I argue the former (the Reformed view) and deny the latter (the Roman Catholic view).

Christ died for a people, not just a possibility.

I. Christ's Sacrifice Was an Actual Substitution
II. Christ's Sacrifice Was an Actual Redemption (Ransom)
III. Christ's Sacrifice Was an Actual Propitiation
IV. Christ's Sacrifice Was an Actual Reconciliation
V. Christ's Sacrifice Was for All Kinds of People
