Summary

We speak to some common objections and then consider how a particular view of the atonement leads to assurance.

Hi, this is John.

00:00:01

And today on Theocast, we're continuing our series through Calvinism, and we'll be covering probably the most heated and debated points of them all, which is the third point, limited atonement.

00:00:12

Who did Jesus Christ die for?

00:00:13

Did he die for the sins of the whole world, or did Jesus lay his life down for the sheep?

00:00:18

It's a great question, and it does relate to our assurance and how we understand our standing before God.

00:00:25

We hope that it brings hope and clarity in this conversation.

00:00:29

And in the members podcast, we continue the conversation around assurance and those who claim to be Calvinist and how often they deny the very doctrines of grace when it comes to their assurance.

00:00:40

And then we may dabble in some other things like expository preaching and biblicism.

00:00:44

We hope you enjoy.
