How Can Man Be Just With God? God Found a Ransom!

The problem is there is only one True and living God! You by your own words say you do not know Him! To be clear...if a person says..."I cannot, and will not believe in a God who sends people to second death, saying depart from me, I never knew you...What would you say or conclude about that false confession? You are like a person staining a floor and painting himself into a corner! Is that where you want to be?

At least I know who I am now, thanks.

Now it would be nice, if you believed propitiation, and Atonement are actual, rather than potential!

Christ is the actual propitiation, the actual atonement.

But to be saved we have to actually freely trust in what He has done for us.

Knowing that He did is not the same as trusting in Him.

That is the point you do seem to have a problem wrapping your head around.

We were reconciled to God at the cross but we are saved by His life:
Rom 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Yes...Every single person whom He does this for, is saved from sins, and not condemned by God any longer. Just connect the dots..
8 ;1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Correct! No one does this until God enables them to do it

He did what? potential, or actual?

or. I get it, you miss it? Actual, or potential?

yes Silverhair...Everyone who is saved by His life, is known as the elect
