Episode notes
Christ's Glory Through the Cross
- Jesus' glory comes through his humiliation on the cross, which unites his exaltation and shame.
- The glorification of the Son also glorifies the Father, for they are one and share glory eternally.
Understanding Limited Atonement
- Limited atonement means Christ died specifically for the elect, not every individual.
- The atonement perfectly secures salvation for those God chose, with no part of Christ's sacrifice wasted.
Sovereign Gift of Salvation
- Salvation depends entirely on God's sovereign choice to give believers to Jesus.
- R.C. Sproul emphasizes he is a Christian because he was given to Christ by the Father, not by any human merit.
