When people limit the death of Christ, they limit also His Resurrection from the dead, which is His Life
You just made that up, not understanding the word of God or the gospel. His death is not "limited", except in your own perverted mind. He died for the sins of the whole world. In fact, YOU are the one who teaches that the death of Jesus is "limited". YOU claim that He only died for the "elect", and not for the sins of the whole world.
The gospel is simple and not convoluted, as you teach it.
Jesus died for all sins, of all men. The sin issue was settled "once for all" at the cross.
"But this Man, after He had offered
one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God" Heb 10:12
"And He Himself is the
propitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only but also for the
whole world." 1 John 2:2
"For the death that He
died, He
died to sin
once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God." Rom 6:10
He was raised for our justification.
"and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins."
"It shall be imputed to us
who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Rom 4:24-5:1
"Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgmentcame to
ALL men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act
the free gift came to ALL men, resulting in
justification of
life."
God's word could not be more clear -
ALL sins of
ALL men were propitiated at the cross, when Jesus shed His blood, so that the justification of life
comes to ALL men. And it is imputed to
ALL "
who believe in Him". His death was NOT "limited" for any sin or for any man. He died for all.
It is not the body that gives life, but the Spirit.
"
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in
spirit and truth.”" John 4:24
"It is the
Spirit who gives
life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are
spirit, and
they are
life." John 6:63
"...for the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives
life." 2 Cor 3:6
"And if Christ
is in you, the body
is dead because of sin, but the
Spirit is life because of righteousness." Rom 8:10
"But if the
Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give
life to your mortal bodies through His
Spirit who dwells in you." Rom 8:11
All they which are reconciled to God by His Death [legally] are also saved or made alive by His Life Rom 5:10
"For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
Again, you fail to comprehend what you read.
ALL men were His enemies, not just Calvinists. Calvinists are now just enemies of the cross, for they (YOU) claim that His death was "limited" to only the "elect". You deny that Jesus died for ALL sins of ALL men, thus denying the Gospel that saves those "who believe in Him".
ALL men are reconciled unto God by His death and therefore the justification of life comes to all men. Those "who believe in Him" receive His life, by the Spirit who comes to dwell in them. Salvation is the life of God dwelling in those who have believed the Gospel.
"Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ
is in you, the body
is dead because of sin, but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." Rom 8:9-11
Neither His death, nor His resurrection are "limited" to any man. Yet, the Spirit is given ONLY to those "who believe in Him". ONLY those who have received the Spirit have His life.
"He who has the
Son has the
life; he who does not have the
Son of God does not have the
life." 1 John 5:12
ONLY those who have believed the Gospel have received His life. Salvation is receiving His life, by the Spirit that dwells in them, which they received AFTER having heard and then believing what they heard, concerning the Son of God.
"In Him you also trusted
, AFTER you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise".
The gospel is the power of God
FOR salvation.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God
for salvation to
everyone who believes" Rom 1:16
All for whom Christ died shall be saved by His Life as they were by His death, its a package deal !
Not what Paul said. Paul is explaining
HOW those "who believe" are saved (by His life). In order for men TO BE saved by His life, they must have been first reconciled by His death. The reconciliation is when Christ died for
ALL sins of
ALL men, so that
ALL men are justified to receive His life
AFTER they believe the Gospel.
