| What was accomplished at the cross? |
Sir, what was accomplished at the cross?
=====
Great question. Let
me express some thoughts for your consideration.
1. One thing is most
certain: ALL the sins of ALL the elect of God were IMPUTED to Christ, YES, even
including all the sins of all the elect that were not even conceived yet.
2. Just as certain,
Christ Jesus - the redeemer of all those that were given to Him by the Father -
suffered and endured the divine curse of all those sins in the place of His
people, and made complete satisfaction of the wages of sins owed by ALL of His
elect.
3. Equally certain,
there are misguided Christians who believe that their sins were imputed to
Christ ONLY when they believed in Jesus Christ. They don't realise that any sin
imputed to Christ AFTER the cross-death-and-resurrection event would be too
late!
4. If a man's sins
are not INCLUDED (by legal imputation to Christ) in the one-offering of Christ
of Himself for sin, there is NO MORE atonement for those sins. He MISSED the
one Sin-Ship; the Ship has left the harbour, never to return to ship away more
sins! The one Train that carried away sin has left the Station!
There is no more a
second, or a third, or a fourth offering of Christ for sins at the WHIM and
FANCY of some stupid (i.e. lacking common sense - not a derogatory term in any
way, but an objective adjective!) people.
Silly, misguided
children of God believe fables that are so injurious to themselves! They think
Christ is at their beckoning! Not surprising at all because they, the mighty
ones, ACCEPTED a lowly Jesus who begged at their doors for their ACCEPTANCE of
Him! They have been sold a poor and pathetic Jesus! So they end up with this
fable that it is they who decide when to surrender their sins to be imputed to
Christ, i.e. when they believe in
Christ!
4. Just as certain,
double imputations took place at the cross, i.e.
- The sins of all
His elect were IMPUTED to Christ, and Christ rendered full and perfect
satisfaction for all of them. That is why not one iota of sin was able to hold
Him in the grave!
- The righteousness
of Christ, from His life of perfect and sinless obedience to God, was IMPUTED
to all the elect given to Him by the Father.
If you have any
questions, feel free to ask.
What is IMPUTED
legally (a legal transaction) at the cross is APPLIED vitally at the effectual
call to grace and salvation (a personal transaction); the former doesn't need
your personal existence, the latter requires it.
What is applied
freely by God's grace, i.e. when a man is dead in sins and trespasses, is
EXPERIENCED through faith in Christ Jesus, whose righteousness is the sole
basis and alone ground of God freely justifying the condemned, dead, alienated
sinners.

Excellent. I tell
others frequently, I was born in 1943, but I died about 33 AD. 🙂

Excellent Read, bro.
Sing F Lau. 100% agreement with every single word of this.

The proper, biblical
answer to “What did Jesus Christ ACCOMPLISH?” eliminates 10,000 false doctrines
in Christendom.

Amen!

Great words, "What is IMPUTED legally (a legal transaction) is APPLIED vitally (a
personal transaction); the former doesn't need your personal existence, the
latter requires it. "
