With the New Testament, advocates of particular redemption can cheerfully proclaim, “Christ died for sinners,” “Christ died for the world,” and “Christ’s death is sufficient for you,” acknowledging also with the Scriptures that the assurance, “Christ died for you,” is to be given only to professing believers. When we assure people that “Christ died for you,” we are telling them that they are redeemed, that their sins have been blotted out, and that they are no longer subject to God’s condemnation.
