POSSIBLE?

One of the biggest lies and blasphemous statements that hireling preachers make today is that “Jesus Christ made salvation possible.” To say that Christ only made redemption “possible” is to say that He did all that He could do but came up short. It is to say that God the Son, our sovereign, successful, Saviour could not finish the work that God the Father sent Him to do. If the Lord Jesus only made our salvation “possible,” and left it up to us to do something, then Christ’s precious blood is not effectual, but useless, and of no profit to the believing child of God.

But this is not true. You cannot preach the true Christ of the Bible and proclaim that He wound up doing less than what God sent Him to do. Did the Lord Jesus Christ save all that the Father gave Him before the foundation of the world? The Lord Himself said that He did. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37) Will there be one sinner that the Father gave to Christ that He willed to save that will be lost? Our Lord said that there wouldn’t. “And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” (John 6:39) And the only proof that any skeptic might need to prove this to be so is the words of our Lord from the cross, “It is finished.” (John 19:30)

Dear reader, our Lord and Saviour did not make salvation “POSSIBLE.” He made it CERTAIN by the sacrifice of Himself, doing for us what we could never do for ourselves.
