John Murray on God's Love and the Atonement

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, November 30, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“The cross of Christ is the supreme demonstration of the love of God (Rom. 5:8; 1 John 4:10). The supreme character of the demonstration resides in the extreme costliness of the sacrifice rendered. It is this costliness that Paul has in view when he writes: "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Rom. 8:32). The costliness of the sacrifice assures us of the greatness of the love and guarantees the bestowal of all other free gifts.”

“He that had no cause to suffer for Himself suffered for me.  O Lord Jesus, thou suffers not thine own, but my wounds.”

“What joy it is, believer, to think that thou hast such a perfect atonement to rest upon! If there were one sin Christ did not suffer for on the cross or one evil thought of one of His people that He did not bear, we could not be saved. But He has “finished” the whole of His people’s transgression; He has made an end of all their sins. “

Charles Spurgeon

"The atonement is efficacious — it accomplishes redemption, it makes purification for sin, it reconciles to God, it secures the salvation of those for whom it was intended. Only on this premise is He the Saviour. Only on this basis is He freely offered as Saviour to all without distinction. It is not as Saviour He would be offered to all men if He did not actually save (cf. Matt. 1:21)."

"All are not saved by Christ's death, but all which are saved, are saved by Christ's death;  His death is sufficient to save all, as the sun is sufficient to to light all; but if any wink, the sun will not give him light."
Henry Smith

"Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; anothers life, anothers death, I stake my whole eternity."
Horatius Bonar
