THE EXPRESSIONS “WORLD,” “the whole world,” “all
men,” etc., in connection with the atonement, or death of
Christ, generally mean all classes, or nationalities, as the people
of God are among all nations. “For thou wast slain, and hast
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
tongue, and people, and nation.” — Rev. v. 9. Out of does not
embrace the whole or all of every nation. “These were redeemed
from among men.” — Rev. xiv. 4. “To take out of them a people
for his name.” — Acts xv. 14. Christ, as God, upholds all things
by the word of his power, and is thus the Saviour or Preserver of
all men, but he is the special Saviour of those only who believe;
and all for whom he made the atonement will be brought to
believe in due time. |
