The Great Salvation/33
Proposition 33.
In Christ Only Can We Obtain Redemption and Atonement
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Matt. 20:28 The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Rom. 5:6 For when we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom. 5:8 God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom. 10:11 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. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Eph. l:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Eph. 2:13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Col. 1:14 1n whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
Tit. 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
From these testimonies it will be seen that out of Christ there is no reconciliation with God and consequently no salvation. The question therefore is, How may we pass out of Adam into Christ? This will lead us to the subject of baptism.
